Another glorious day in the sunshine, although it was even colder today. There was a layer of ice on the puddles when I first set off! A slightly later start this morning as I popped into Aldi for supplies. The route crossed the railway into Norfolk.

The starting point for the day was the old Keswick train station situated behind the swimming pool. The tracks have now beenContinue reading “Castlerigg Stone Circle”
