Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
It is always a pleasure to visit Kirkby Lonsdale, and today was no exception. We walked along the river and into town where we had another fine lunch at Plato's. Great chef, terrific short and reasonable menu. We then just wandered about (like tourists) finding some new areas and some delightful 'shutts' or passageways....... We discovered a new way back down to Devil's Bridge........ ....and spent a short time watching a cricket match between whatever the good school is in Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh (judging by a mini-bus we saw earlier). Terrific ground. At the Bridge we decided to walk along the river in the opposite direction to what looked like a bridge on the OS map, but turned out to be an aqueduct. So we retraced our steps. A pleasant walk however. We drove home by a different remote route across the Trough, and passed by Wrysedale Tower, a superb viewpoint, but as it was quite hazy we shall reserve that for another day. We still managed to see Morecambe Bay which was quite a surprise. We ended at the Inn at Whitewell for a leisurely drink.
