Day 9 was tough. Hot weather and some big hills. Started off at a good pace and met Katie and her parents along the way for some excellent food breaks. Then crossed into the Lakes and unsuprisingly the hills turned alot nastier! The scenery was beautiful though, we had both been really looking forward to making it to the Lakes. The last climb of the day was Kirkstone pass up to 1500ft, followed by a lovely 5 mile downhill into Patterdale! Just had a fantastic meal with ours and Katie’s family and i think it’ll be early to bed. 87 miles tomorrow and into Scotland…
