Fast train from Euston Station to Preston (even tilted a bit on the corners) 😳. Then two small trains with another change at Barrow in Furness

Air BnB accom at the Hayloft has been very comfortable and we did a reconnaissance walk to the beach and picked out obligatory pebble to carry from the West Coast to the East to Robin Hood’s bay. You can see the cliff start to the walk in the background of this photo. So we are all set.

Sitting in the Queens Arms as I write, Rob has just ordered our dinner, grilled Sea Bass & Veg for me and Meat Feast Pizza for him with jalapenos!!!

Pics of the Abbey Chuchyard (dating back to Norman times) and St. Bees below.

When we walked up the street is was clogged with cars waiting to cross the train tracks at the bottom of the street. After dinner though the street was very quiet with no one in sight… Where is everyone you may ask?

The Answer, in the pubs which are well frequented by the locals Who are very friendly and curios about “walkers” as we are referred to.

Rain is forecast for tomorrow so our walk from St. Bees to Cleator looks like it will be a wet one!!! A big day awaits us.
