The Fern Lee, our B&B for the night. This re-opened 5 weeks ago after the floods in December 2015. The water level during the flood was above the letter box in the door.
Back on the track and over the Memorial Bridge in Carlisle and through Rickerby Park
Soon we were crossing the rather quiet M6
Through Linstock to the River Eden. This part of the footpath is officially closed due to flood damage. Clearly it is still being used by the locals and we had no difficulties on it.
The damaged riverbank
Through Crosby on Eden and up to The Military Road
Past Bleatarn where it is believed this hole in the ground was a quarry for building the wall.
We knew that there were no pubs or cafes on this section of the walk so we took a short diversion to Carlisle Airport and the Stobart Café. Excellent value for money. This is a private airport and owned by the Eddie Stobart organisation. Their huge distribution centre was nearby.
Past the site of Turret 56 with a rather grand view over the landscape below.
On through Walton
A new born calf
To arrive at the next B&B adjacent to Lanercost Priory
