<\/a>\nPenrith provided some first class distractions: a Greggs for some early 11s and some interesting historical items in the churchyard. A stone cross and hog back tomb stone were both pre-Conquest in date. There was also a plague stone beside the A6: a place where money would be disinfected by vinegar when in medieval times there was a risk of plague.<\/p>\n
From Psalm 4 The hill out of Penrith today seemed the longest one yet. God grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. <\/b><\/p>\n JAL 07.06.2019 Day 62 of the End to End is the final day’s walk in section 2 of LEJOG. It began at Eamont Bridge and I walked into Penrith. There was a very short footpath to the roundabout on the A6\/A66. It was only a few yards and had a lot of nettles, some majestic foxgloves and … Continue reading “Last Day of Section 2”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":513,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512\/revisions\/513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
\nThe road out of Penrith was the longest hill of the day. I’m pretty sure it was mile 603 that had been sponsored by my friend Renee. The only distraction I could find here was a well worn fungus. There were some distant views of Blencathra and for most of the day we walked quite near to the M6.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI met Bob at Kitchen Hill bridge where we also noted the Kitchen Hill Monolith by a large tree near the West Coast Main Line.
\nWe diverted to a garden centre for some cake, mindful that the rain was due and we’d still more than a mile to go.
\nHowever, we made it to the car at Brackenburgh just before the rain started. We drove back to junction 40 for a bit of shopping and then for our last evening at the Borrett barn, by Sedbergh.<\/p>\n
\n
\nWhen I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
\nYou alone, God, keep me safe.<\/i><\/p>\n
\nI look forward to a few days rest
\nBefore we get to the next section of hills!<\/p>\n
