Penrith – night before the start

Finally arrived, after an emergency dental appointment for me (typical!) this morning. Very comfy B&B; basically a self catering annexe off the main house. We appear to have it all to ourselves at present. Been out for an Italian meal and are now sitting in our private little courtyard supping our vino in the fading evening sunlight, listening to the bell ringing practice. All prepared for the morrow. Hoping to start from Whitehaven at about 9am.

Update:
Really recommend this B&B – Fellfoot Hostel -  the owners, Jackie and Alasdair, were very welcoming. The Hostel is right next door to their house, with its own garden area, good clean accommodation, fully equiped kitchen if you fancy making meals yourself and good showers! They also very kindly drove us to Whitehaven for the start of the trip.
