Alison and Alison and the art of re-tyrement

Cycling from London to Spain

Day 12 Kirby Longsdale to Talkin

Distance 62.1 miles

Ascent 1461.5 metres

Hills everywhere. Cycling through Sedburgh with a view of Howgill Fells.
A coffee stop but not in the bus shelter at Orton. It is now the local library.
So we had coffee on the green behind the bus shelter.
JR and Jackie managing to smile on the way up another hill.
Long Meg – 12 ft high with the four corners facing the points of a compass. Thought to be about 1500 BC.
And her daughters who were all turned to stone for dancing on the sabbath. Part of a Neolithic stone circle,
Complying with request. Always essential to join in local traditions. Where are the rest of the team?

Time for bed. We have an 80 mile ride tomorrow.

Good night
