Hot day so got out early and kept to more shady lanes. I headed through the Yealands and the AONB to Milnthorpe, then up the Lyth valley to Brigsteer. Coffee stop was courtesy on national trust Sizergh castle which was in chaos as the car parking machine wouldn’t take cards or notes! I continued back and decided to make a second stop in Milnthorpe to buy scones for afternoon tea at home. Great views of river Kent and the estuary. 85 km with 895 m of climbing.
Pictures of Kent estuary and higher up the river where solution weathering had made a lovely rock bed channel.
