Lowther Castle

We left Bowness in torrential rain this morning. So we were rather surprised to arrive in Askham in dry warm weather.

I had mixed fortunes in the Orienteering running better than I have for a long time and catching time on two friends who started ahead of me. However this was a distraction and I missed a control.

We then took Jet for a walk in the grounds of Lowther Castle and calling in for refreshments at the courtyard cafe.

We returned to the cottage to find Richard did not have the key! The owners were out too so we had an anxious wait before we could get assistance. Fortunately help eventually came in the form of a spare key and normal service was resumed.

Just one day left and then attention will turn to coaching youngsters at Lagganlia. I only hope I have enough energy to keep up with them!
