Coast to Coast to Coast Day 13 - High Bentham to Morecombe

Lovely sunset last night. We had a pleasant couple of hours sat around the camp fire chatting the evening away. Tomorrow is my last day on the route.

Sunset from Curlew Camp site.

Packed the bike and away from the camp site by 10.00, a nice relaxed day today with only about 20 miles to do. I deviated from the route, staying on the B6480 through Low Bentham and Wennington to rejoin the route at Wray.

Steps and Waterpump at Wennington.

Through Crook of Lune and along the bank of River Lune into Lanchaster, over the impressive Millenium Bridge which keeps cyclists and pedestrians away from the traffic.

It's been a great two weeks cycling firstly the Walney to Whitby Cycle Route then cycling along the North Yorks Coast from Whitby to Bridlington and finally Bridlington to Morecombe along the Way of the Roses Cycle Route. Total distance covered has been 412 miles. It's been quite relaxing dispute the distance, it's given me time to be alone with my thoughts and refresh my ideas.

I would recommend this route done at a fairly leisurely pace over two weeks to be able to see and enjoy things along the way, life is hectic enough.........
