After yesterday's rain this morning was perfectly still with a cloudless sky. After an excellent breakfast I left Burton and was soon into the country lanes where apart from the odd car I didn't see anybody . As my journey progressed the countryside became gradually more rolling and the mountains towards Windermere came into view. Over my head flew two Lancaster bombers on their way to an air display . Later in the day I would see them again as they flew over lake Windermere at low level. I stopped at Underbarrow village where the local village fair and marrow judging competition was going on . A group of Gig riders were out with their horses and the place was a hive of activity.
Reaching Windermere I relaxed in the sun and ate some fish and chips and drank a cold lager and watched life go by. This week I have covered over a 100 miles and met many interesting people. It was now time to go home .Hopefully Scotland awaits next year.
