Day 8 - Cumbria and beyond

If day 7 had been a short and un-memorable escape out of the urban sprawl of the mersey, day 8 more than made up for it in distance and scenery.

Our route for the day took us out of garstang and threaded a northerly course between the Yorkshire dales and the lake district to our destination at Carlisle. The clouds came in low and the rain fell, but it only served to add more drama to the lush rolling hills and the brooding peaks to the east and west of us. This is good cycling country.
