Left at 7.30 from Bruce's Cave. Jenny thinks I've got OCD as I have to stop for breaks in multiples of 10 miles! Mileage yesterday 75.01 (having cycled round the campground to make up the 75; OCD again?!). Given 10 quid by campsite owner for Starlight. Also given free hot crumpet at Premier Inn when asking the way.
Heavy rain this morning. Map soaking and hard to read; wet feet and gloves that are serving two useful functions. Jenny says snail trails snot acceptable! Tan on legs is really the beginning of trench foot! Pub lunch outside Penrith.
Continued Penrith to Shap in rain with feet inside plastic sandwich bags, not to be re~used! Returning to Penrith by car to sleep in a proper bed tonight (molly's friends) and taking a day off tomorrow (Sunday).
Brenda DOUBLE Nutter!
