St Bees to Penrith

Cycling day 1. The hill out of St Bees was pretty steep, but we managed it. After that, it was not bad at all. We stopped in Cockermouth for cheese scone and coffee and saw SparseRunner who happened to be there at the same time. Cockermouth to Keswick was mostly flat so we were in Keswick for lunch. The last 20 miles to Penrith were a bit harder with a lot of ups and downs but very pleasant.
It was really lovely to see A who is putting us up, and J who came for the evening, and we had a lovely tapas meal in Penrith.
