A surprising scenic 30km ride followed by a swim in Potter Tarn and a return trip.Route: from home along Paddy Lane but turning right half way along with the WtoW route to Kiln Head and then turning north to Grayrigg. Then on to Whinfell Tarn and Haveriggs and taking the quiet road to Watchgate to cross the River Sprint at Garnett Bridge. Then via Potter Fell High Road to Staveley. After lunch at the Beer Hall and a spell at the Staveley Carnival, cycling round Piked Howe, leaving the bikes and walking to Potter Tarn for a Jo Cox memorial swimming event with Alison Gilchrist. Then cycling home.
Conditions: a blisteringly hot sunny day.
Pub: Pub: the Hawkshead Brewery Beer Hall, Staveley, for Hawkshead Session IPA, WPA and lunch.
