The end of the first day is at Ennerdale Bridge. A 24.5 km walk along coastal cliffs and beautiful countryside.
We only took two wrong turns which I cannot blame on my HERO rally navigator Kev.
While walking along the ocean cliffs near St Bees we noticed crayfish pots. We are staying at Shepherds Arms for the first night. Madam d'hotel said they made the best steak and ale pie in the region but when I saw the St Bees lobster ( from the pots we saw ) I had to try that. Plenty of lobster meat and very nice.
Only downside is that I think we consumed too much red wine on the first night.
On to Rosthwaite today, about another 24 km hike.
