Day 5 : Moffat to Kendal

The impossible dream came true - a full day with no rain - plenty of black cloud dodging but no actual pant soaking.
Spent a glorious morning cycling 45miles into Carlisle (an early contender for road of the week could be the B7076!) for my morning latte and blueberry muffin and then a tough 25 miles slogging up and down windy hills until Penrith for lunch. Plenty of unpleasant graoning and grunting going on here.
After lunch it went a little pear- shaped. The usual steak and ale pie had been replaced with a less substantial brie and avacado croissant (dont think that Lance would approve) and about five miles after Penrith i was knackered - half a chocolate birthday cake and banana helped the system but it was still slow-going all the way into Kendal where a mile to the B&B i suffered my first puncture.
Staying in the Hillside B&B which is the first internet friendly stop (so hot fave for best B&B on tour!) Total milage 91 (going down the A74 cut off some original miles and i didnt get arrested)
Loking forward to some vino and for some reason a fishermans pie would go down well
Highlight of Day: Speaking to Amelie on the phone and her asking me "Daddy are you using cream for your sore bum" - Yes Amelie all is well in the bum-bum world
Highlight 2 was entering England - sorry Darren but its good to be home
Cheers for all the messages (Tommy, Kumail, James E and T)
