Route: from home to Natland and then at Newlands taking the rising road along the ridge to Crosscrake, crossing the canal and hence via Viver and Woodhouse to Heversham on the lower road passing, by chance, Helen and Keith from Lancaster also on bikes. Then crossing over the A6, taking the flat roads near the estuary bypassing Milnthorpe to join the road to Sandside and thus Arnside for lunch at the Albion. After lunch, leaving Lois for a rehearsal and later concert, exiting Arnside to the south east, crossing the railway and passing Slack Head and Beetham. Along Paradise Lane past Ackenthwaite and Woodhouse. This time taking a left turn immediately after going under the railway line to reach Sedgwick and home via Natland Road.
Conditions: a beautiful sunny day with occasional chill winds.
Pub: the Albion, Arnside for Thwaites Lancaster Bomber, Ossett White Rabbit and lunch.
