Keep on Moo-ving!

If the weather had been better (which it wasn't) then today would have been a great day for a really interesting walk.

The canal I was following runs out of water at Sedgwick a place with quite a lot of history especially in relation to the production of gunpowder.

Just beyond there I was due to go under a bridge but the cows were sheltering from the horrendous wind and rain so I had to take a long detour around them.

I was not a-moo-sed - Geddit?

So today was 17 miles - Crooklands to Bowness in the worst weather, torrential rain and gale force winds, for most of the day.  At about 2pm it did stop raining but the wind decided to carry on.  Thankfully this helped me dry out by the time I reached Bowness.

I've a day off tomorrow to sort out the kit and do some washing.  I should have put Persil in my pockets and I could have had a good wash 'n' dry as I went along!
