Arrived at St Bees after a nine hour train journey. It was very picturesque though. Due to engineering works the route was diverted after Preston along the Settle-Carlisle line. It took ages but at least I got though half a book on my Kindle. Perhaps the 6 that I downloaded for the 2 weeks wasn't an overestimate!
We're staying at the Stonehouse Farm, which is a working farm and keeps Texel sheep. Had a meal at the Manor House, Inn then walked down to the sea. Did the customary dip of our toes in the Irish Sea and choose a pebble to carry with us Coast to Coast to deposit in the north sea.
