Day 6

The end is drawing closer, but another mixed day of weather and hills lol.... Left Pooley Bridge along the lake (Loch as we say in Scotland) to the foot of the Kirkstone Pass, let's just say it was a good climb and better decent :)
Stopped for lunch Sedbergh which was lovely and the turn of the weather for the better, then the call was made to change the route as time was against us to get to Skipton in reasonable time which left us with a good spin along an A road to a welcoming shower then feed in a local establishment......
