Lancaster to Austwick

At last! After much last minute faffing, we finally left Lancaster at 5pm! Followed the Lune cycle path out of town, then joined the road onto Wray and Bentham. Spurred on by thoughts of the bottle of champagne in Luke's pannier, we raced the settting sun to get to a campsite before it got warm. As most hobos will confirm, newspaper is a surprisingly effective insulator, and we enjoyed toasting our trip with cold english fizz once we'd put the tent up. Unsurprisingly it started raining for the first time in weeks. Of course the hottest April in 50 years had to end in time for our depature.
