Description

The cars were coming nose to tail between Kendal and Windermere and much the same beyond to Ambleside. As we rode against the flow, continuously dazzled by headlights, we wondered had Windscale blown up and word gone out to evacuate the Lake District? They were still sucking each other’s exhausts into their ventilation systems as we rode up Langdale and we subsequently discovered it was the end of half-term holiday week and the forecast was for heavy rain on the morrow.
