Day 2 - St Bees to Rowrah ( 14 miles)

Saturday morning 7th Aug -Good Breakfast at 08.30 and ready to leave at 09.35 weather is very drizzly so we are all waterproofed up !- collected packed lunches expensive and very poor :-( Miles, sarah, Emily and Sam waved us off.




Walk proper starts by the beach and up the headland towards the lighhouse so its 09.50 and ready to go !


Reached the lighthouse at 10.48


Turned in land and at last started heading East at 11.30 - we left the "classic" C2C  path and followed the old railway line from Moor Row towards Rowrah. The weather has brightened up considerably now and Gary is in his shorts


Here we get the first glimpse of Ennerdale valley with low clouds where we have to walk tomorrow


Finally reached the Stork Hotel at Rowrah 15.20 ( 5 Hrs and 45 mins later after 14.5miles)
rooms very nice -good power shower  just having beer,coffees and a game of darts

Lovely dinner all nicely stuffed, back on the beers again !
