However, today was a pretty grim one as Christine was feeling decidedly under the weather. She says that it is nothing that 12 hours of solid sleep will not sort out but Stephen was seriously worried that she was pushing herself too hard. Being the trooper that she is, she soldiered on despite the offer of a hotel room in Lancaster for the afternoon and night followed by a train journey to “catch up” the lost time.
Our journey (available here and also below) took us through Preston - a city that looked to be doing pretty well for itself - and then up the A6 (not as horrendous as you might imagine) to Lancaster.
Straight through Lancaster, we then set off north-west across country, heading towards our evening stop in Tebay - a small village in the gap between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It’s the same gap that the M6 goes through and also the West Coast main line. That does not, however, make it flat!
Of course, the hills make it very pretty - even more so than we expected (neither of us know this part of the country at all). But there was a lot of up and down! And it all came in the second half of the day.
