Day 7 (Wednesday)- Kirkstone Pass (Windermere) to Annan (Scotland)

71.05 miles, 6hrs 26mins. average speed 11.02mph

Very early start, the sheep woke me up, but this was good as on the climb up the Kirkstone pass, I saw hundreds of professional cyclists racing down. The Lake District is spectular, so this scenic route was very much worth taking. Link

Went through Penrith to Carslisle, coming to an earlier stop in Annan, near the border of Scotland/ England.

Overall, going well so far, no problems what so ever with my bike yet, not even a puncture. Past half way, so I hope things stay the same. Generally I feel more comfortable and have a good routine set in, so I think I can stay on target and catch the train that I’ve booked next Thursday!!

Tomorrow I finish in the Isles of Arran, this is where the real beauty of Scotland kicks in!
