We could feel the strain on our legs today. Also, we had to walk a long straight part on asphalt. Some times it made me think about my military service. Don't get me wrong, I actually had a good time when doing the service, but sometimes you really just thought about finishing of things, when you started to get tired.

For some reason all the pubs on the way were closed today too (they were closed yesterday as well), so we did not get any lunch. Then, in Bowness-on-Solway, the pub was closed too, and the bus back did not leave before in 4 hours! Complete despair! Luckily the pub owner invited us in anyhow, and served us a pint of the local brew. English hospitality still stand strong it seems. We've decided to stay the night, as they have rooms in the second floor, and they serve food later on.

Davinder does merit some credit for having walked this far with his bad knee. If he couldn't have done it, it would have meant yet another failure for the english. First Scott and then Gill... Not so this time though. Well done.
