Lancashire & Cumbria: A ferry ride in south Cumbria
Sunday 11 May 2025 to Sunday 11 May 2025. Starting from Keldal Leisure Centre at 09:15 for 09:30. 40 miles Hard.

Meet at Kendal Leisure Centre (Burton Rd, Kendal LA9 7HX) 9:15 for a 9:30 start. We will cycle through the town centre and take the road through Burneside to Staveley and Ings for a coffee stop at the Lakeland Farm (9 miles).  Then it is up and across the gated lane to the B5284, past the golf course and down to Ferry Nab for the ferry across the lake.

Then we have a bit of a climb before heading south to Lakeside for our lunch stop after 21 miles. We cross the A590 at Newby Bridge, taking the lane up to Seatle and on to High Newton.  We have a steep descent into the Winster Valley to Town End before a flat stretch to Gilpin Bridge for a potential tea break (32 miles).  Then it is back to Kendal via Levens and Sizergh.

This is a hillier ride than normal, and we will take our time to regroup and refresh ourselves, but it a lovely part of south Cumbria which you will all enjoy.
