No posts for a couple of weeks as I will be heading for the M6 down country. Hopefully not in the above direction, as that is going north (note to self, must remember to turn right). I used to travel from Junction 36 up to
Carlisle a lot in a previous job. If it is possible to have a nice section of the motorway, this is it, not too busy and good views. On a sunny day with some good music it is quite relaxing, (or perhaps that was because I had escaped from the office). Maybe spotting a walker making their way up hill going over the highest point of
Shap and the odd buzzard hovering in the sky would lift the heart. The distant hill in the photo is before you get to
Shap and is part of the
Howgills which spans the
Cumbria and Yorkshire borders. Until the weather of July and August turned into a deluge, we had great plans for doing a lot of walking in this area for a change, maybe next year.
That's next year, but for now I am looking forward to the ferry casting off from Portsmouth to set sail for France,
yippee, (I'm cheating a bit with this photo as it was taken as we left
Tynemouth a couple of years ago). I love arriving on islands and countries by boat.
