Today was a Day of many interesting sections......
It started off with breakfast... what a pain the B&B i was staying in was... the bike was put out the back of the house but due to the sheer ammount of rain over night the 'waterproof' saddle cover didn't really help... ok it took some of the rain off but there were some sections of the saddle that got wet, :-/
Well after i had breakfast i decided to kit up and head off along the road. It started off with light rain but then over time the further south i went the less it rained. so this was promising :-) after searching for somewhere to stop for a coffee i decided to try a service station. I think at that point EVERYONE on the motorway also thought it was a good idea including several coach parties!
i gave up on that idea and found a little truck stop to have a snack in.. that was gorgeous and a bargain price!!
I then headded through Gretna and onto Carlisle. This was a great section of road as the sun came out and i just kept the peddles turning. As i left Gretna, i passed the 'Welcome to England' sign so had to stop for a photo and then pushed on into the town.
After having a little hunt arround i ended up finding the Hallmark Hotel right in the centre of town so this was a great location. A little noisy with the Saturday night clubbers outside but still a really nice location...
Dinner was taken care of thanks to the folks at Cassa Romana. Seriously.... if you are ever here... go have dinner. it's amazing!!!!
Finally back in the room it was quickly time for bed so i settled down for the night and got some sleep :)
Taking it easy tomorrow so headding to Kendal.
