Sun in the lake district with ice-cream and a ferry ride.

Back from Italy and eager to stretch the legs for a blast round the local spots.  The sun was out so we thought lets go for a tour and catch the ferry back, after a morning of doing jobs we headed out. High Borrans, Jenkins Crag, along and up Loughrigg instead of up the steep tarmac then over to Elterwater.  Some sneaky trails followed by Lingmoor, quick stop at the bottom to appreciate  the downhilling in Garda as it had paid off with me only dabbing once on the downhill(balancing issue!)
From Lingmoor we headed into Hawkshead still being in the Italian mode and stopping for ice-cream.  Unfortunately a climb up to Hodge close followed by Iron Keld and a blast down the cobbles to whizz along to the ferry.  A few minutes wait for the the ferry and then a chat to other fellow bikers of routes whilst gliding smoothly on the ferry giving the legs a brisk rest.  As time was ticking on we decided to take the road home and landed back ready for a feast of Spaghetti!  By Fi

SATS - 1582 metres of ascent and 59.9km (should have gone round the block to add .1km!)
