Eastern ridge of the Kendal bowl by foot and bicycle

Evening exercise in two forms, at the same time: T cycling on a dramatically repaired Moulton and L on shank's pony.

Route: leaving the Close and heading separately by bike and foot over the railway lines and up the hill to the Station Inn, turning left along Hayclose Lane, crossing the A684 at Singleton Park onto Paddy Lane and to the once pub the Greyhound. Here T continuing further north gradually descending, recrossing the railway to turn left on the A685, to Kendal and returning via Castle Road and Valley Drive. L turning left at the Greyhound and descending steeply the old Sedburgh Road to Castle Green Road, and along Valley Drive and the snickleway to the west of it.

Conditions: a sunny evening though with a significant warm breeze.

Pub? (C-19) Cans of Hawkshead Route 590 West Coast IPA and (0.5%) Flathead lager in the summer house.
