| We had decided some time ago to walk on Thursday this week instead of the usual Wednesday and thank goodness we did. Yesterday was horrible and I was hardly over the doorstep all day so when I opened the curtains this morning to see blue skies it was a real treat. We headed for Allonby on the Cumbria Solway Coast wih the intention to catch a bus to Maryport at 10.25am and then walk back approx. 6 miles to Allonby. Tom was driving so it looked as if it would be a close run thing if we were to catch the bus but as we parked the car opposite the bus stop in Allonby the bus came round the corner and we managed to flag it down and get on board. It may have been blue skies but the gale force wind was still blowing and it was very cold. We stopped after about an hour to have a coffee in Maryport Golf Course and made it back to the car after about 2.5 hours walking. The photograph above of John &Tom is overlooking the entrance to Maryport Harbour from the 1 mile long promenade along the coast. |
