Trip to see bluebells

An 18+km evening cycle ride to see the bluebells south of Staveley.

Route: leaving the house and heading along Valley Drive, through the Castle Estate to the river side path to Burneside Road and along this to Bowston, turning right over the river to join the back road to Staveley. Stopping at the junction with Potter Fell High Road to look at the bluebells and then returning via the Mintsfeet industrial estate and back through the centre of town.

Conditions: 7C and initial drizzle becoming light but constant rain and hence chilly after the 4 weeks of sunny weather.

Pub? (C-19) T drank half a bottle of Abbot without any ceremony while cooking.
