Relax and unwind.. went to the steam boat museum in Ambleside, and swimming in Windermere.. was great to stretch the limbs.. though swimming is not a great sport for me, I was soon tired out after a few lengths. Pack our stuff and headed to Ambleside youth hostel.

Made it in to Scotland!! Went over Kirkstone Pass to get out of the lakes, 3 miles of 1/6 to 1/7 up hill followed by 4 miles of 1/5 downhill. Made a top speed of 46.7 going down the hill, overtaking a car en route.. :) The old A74 which was converted to motorway was great to cycle on.. the motorway took the traffic off the road. Picked up a touring group from Carlisle to Gretna Green.. great getting the slipstream. Broke a cleat just after Carlisle.. no spares, had to go on with it broken.
