Route: from home into town, then up Gillinggate and relentlessly on up and over the top of Scout Scar along the Underbarrow Road. Steeply downhill on the twisting road to Underbarrow, then rising up and along through Crossthwaite, crossing the A5074 and coasting gently downhill to Bowland Bridge. After supper, returning in the dark, struggling a bit with the relentless climb to the top of Scout Scar and arriving home at 11pm.
Conditions: warm sun with a cool breeze on the way out; pitch black, clear skies with nearly full moon and chilly on the way back.
Pub: the Hare and Hounds, Bowland Bridge for supper and Stringers Yellow Lorry.
