Day 13 Morecambe to Penrith - The Only Way Is Up!

Beautiful Morecambe Bay on a cloudy day.
Well set up by a filling breakfast at the Silverwell Hotel, and all ready to go!
Give me sunshine, all the way... And he did!
The climb starts here...
Outstanding coffee, cakes and service at the Refresh in Milnthorpe, with a local resident.
A local resident enjoying the view...
Visitors enjoying the view!
The start of Shap's 400m climb...
Nearing the top...
At Shap summit, a touching memorial to those who toiled on the road.
Made it!
The proof - red blob on top of peak on Bill's Garmin.

Refuelling at The Greyhound in Shap after an amazing sweeping descent. Excellent lentil soup, drinks and service.
Broughton Castle on the outskirts of Penrith.
Fabulous meal at Penrith's Saturday night hot spot, The Lounge, where two customers donated to the cause. What a day!
