Dim Service

From Southport I made my way North-east to Preston then continued North to Galgate–just south of Lancaster–where I camped for the night. Wolfing down my supper at the local pub, I was about to pay my bill when I was asked “So, what’s going on?” Not quite sure what to make of the question, I replied a little standoffishly, “Whaddya mean?”

Seems that James and Dave were intrigued by the fact that I ate a huge meal, didn’t drink any beer and was obviously quite fit.

This time it was I who was a bit dim [slow-witted] as I neglected to ask James if he’d been able to remember the name of that globe-touring Scot. They did, however, advise me of a shop where I’d be able to find maps.

Maps in hand, I rode along the Lancaster canals heading North to Kendal where I stopped for coffee, water and a new cycling cap. The one I’d been given by DBT and with which I’d been riding since last autumn had become quite tattered due mostly to the salt of my sweat breaking down the cotton threads of the brim.

With cap on crown I rode a few more miles before arriving at a campsite just outside the town of Crook. I was now in The Lake District and if those first few miles were anything to go by, tomorrow’s ride would be both spectacular and hilly! They were….
