Ride Report. CTC Lancaster and South Lakes. Sunday 11th September. Halton, Wray and Barbon

7 of us set off on a beautiful Sunday morning from Halton railway station, travelling north along the cycle track to Caton and thence to Brookhouse. The sun still shining on us we experienced wonderful views as we climbed behind the wind turbines.  We climbed even higher to see in the distance Roeburndale and beyond to the Yorkshire Dales. 

We had a glorious descent into Wray Garden Centre for coffee. Here we were joined by 4 other members who had opted for the easier route.  After lots of good-humoured chat just 5 of us carried on through Low Bentham, Burton in Lonsdale, Ireby and Cowan Bridge.  After a short stretch on the A65 we cycled on the lovely Roman Road to Barbon for lunch al Fresco.

We made our way past masses of bikers at Devil’s Bridge to negotiate the quiet country lanes of Biggins to Hutton Roof.  We made our way home through Capernwray and Kellet after exactly 50 glorious miles.
