The legendary cow pie at The George in Keswick.

[rich p]

It is exactly 100 miles between my house and Keswick.

That's a mere 4 days cycle for you!

That's a mere 4 days cycle for you!

Only if someone drove me the extra 90 miles

My parents are visiting in Summer and I had planned to take them on a few day trips - 100 miles seems do-able

Well,if you do it,I ll meet you at the Border Esk with chilled Irn Bru and escort you safely through the badlands!You do drink the stuff?I am given to understand that some people do!

I could cycle up the A6 to Keswick, I've done Windermere twice. That pie would be a fitting reward.

I'm revising my date to Tuesday 26 May. I can't wait until the Wednesday.

@vernon to the forum please!

Have you seen this?

When are you going? I'll join you!

Must confess, it looks similar to the sausage pie my wife used to make. She used to make chocolate cakes too.

I've a mind to join you Vern. It's the day after the bank holiday and also school half term so if I was you I'd take the precaution of phoning The George to check they're going to have the pie in stock. It would be terrible to travel all that distance and have to eat something from Brakes or 3663 or Food Service as a poor substitute.

I'll be doing a leisurely C2C and will probably camp there.

Is that the end of Day 1 @vernon, and are you starting from Whitehaven or Workington?

Yes, a very leisurely day one especially since the pie appears to be the evening meal at t'pub and I'll have just got back from Knockengorroch festival. I'm minded to start at Workington for a change of scenery and a not too challenging day - I could be frail from the weekend's excesses.
