Lakes District: Day off Kendal

Day 14
Distance- 0km (681)
Weather- stinking hot day with specky thunder storm in evening
Highlights- eating dinner in the green house
Lowlights- Sarah's phone is stolen (but returned)
Accommodation- Burside hill hall farm again

We decided we had deserved a much needed day off. We woke in the orchard to the sound of a cow giving birth in the bottom paddock and sheep baring ohhh the country life.

After a bit of trip planning we headed into town. Sarah got her bike fixed, the bottom bracket had been protesting on and off for a while and a few spokes bent beyond repair. A lovely traditional cafe was found down a little lane for lunch. We tried the infamous Kendal mint cake, apparently eaten by Sir Edmund Hilary on Everest. And finally updated out web site.

Upon arrival back at the campsite/farm, we were met back some huge black clouds that though it was agood idea to share about 6 hours of thunder storms with us. Since we had pitched in the farms orchard, we were able to have a semi-dry dinner, in the green house.
