Text Box: Day Five, Carlisle to Leyland
Tuesday 23rd April

As we head south the weather seems to be slowly improving and we started well. We travelled about 20 miles admiring the hills of the Peak District and we were surprised to still see snow on the summits. We slowly started to climb and the road veered slightly west towards the hills. Before we knew it we were at quite an altitude and the road had got steeper and it was decidedly colder. This was Shap Fell, reputedly the biggest climb of the route. Graham’s power pulled him away from me but we both made the summit and enjoyed the mainly downhill route for the next several miles. Unfortunately so much climbing had slowed me down and for the first time I was really disappointed to have to get in the van at around 45 miles. Graham was now  getting used to riding alone and soon stepped up the pace I did join him again for the last 20 or so miles and his solo progress meant we arrived at the hotel in goodtime.
