Ulverston Walney Island Ulverston, June 23, 2010

Distance = 36.1 miles
Time =2 hrs 49 mins
Elevation Gain = 1529 feet
Weather = Sunny, warm - nasty coastal headwind along the coast
Bike = Pinnacle Hybrid

Route :
Down through Plumpton and Next Ness to the Leven Viaduct then along the coast path to Ulverston canal Head. Along the coast road via Bardsea, Baycliff, Adlingham and Rampside to Roa Island.
Then a really good find - I had intended cycling back to Rampside and along the A5087 but I found a great cycle path from Rampside along the coast past the Gas terminal and right into Barrow.
A quick ride along Walney and back into Barrow and up abbey Road for a rendezvous in the Strawberry pub with a pint of Becks Vier and England Slovenia !
Good result in the footie put me in fine spirits to cycle back up the hills through Dalton & Linda
