Day 12 - Lie-in's, laundry and a long lunch

Our second rest day started with a long lie-in followed by a lovely relaxing breakfast after which we began working through the rancid pile of cycling clothing from the previous five days (some of which was still damp from yesterday's rain!). 5 loads of washing later we had various articles hanging in the drying room, on the Aga, on the garden chairs and on radiators around the house!


Having stocked up on essentials (mainly deodorant!), we enjoyed a long lunch with Fiona's friend Lorraine who took the day off work especially to come to see us; she was an inspiration for this entire trip, having done Lejog some 15 years ago.

After lunch Fiona and Lorraine went off to explore Kendal Castle, while Amanda, Steve and Louise went to see Amanda and Steve's new house close by in Levens.

On returning to Denise and David's lovely house in Kendal we all walked down to the end of the drive to find the 'Welcome to Kendal' geocache.


We've had a lovely day off thanks to Denise and David's hospitality - ready for getting back on the road tomorrow.
