Whitehaven to Keswick :-31 miles

Weather:- Cloudy but not raining

We managed to be in the saddle for 10:30am (not forgetting to dip our rear wheel in the Irish sea) heading towards Keswick following the Sustrans sea to sea cycle route. A steady climb up to Murton Fell (850ft) via Cleator Moor and Kirkland, before descending down to High Lorton via Lamplugh and Loweswater. Now starts the first major climb up WhinlatterPass (over a thousand ft) then descending down to Braithwaite and on to Keswick for our first night stop at Grassmoor Guest House (1st class accommodation, food was excellent and they are geared up for bikers & walkers alike)
