Cycle ride to Arnside

An evening cycle ride to Arnside.

Route: from home down Oxenholme Road to Natland Mill Beck Lane and thence to gently uphill to Natland, along through Sedgwick, Hincaster to Ackenthwaite. Then along Paradise Lane to Beetham and the steep climb and speedy descent to reach Black Dyke Road eventually to arrive downhill into Arnside to reach the Fighting Cocks. After a pint, along the front to visit Jo and Roger for coffee (new machine!) and then back on the same route out (for L to Asda), though T feebly taking the direct route home via Oxenholme.

Conditions: bright sun and blue sky but cool by 7pm.

Pub: Fighting Cocks, Arnside, for Thwaites Coiled Spring.
