Wonderful morning in Carlisle.

I did a long extension of the Hadrian' s Wood and Tarraby walk I discovered a few weeks back. This time when I got to Tarraby I followed the field path to Houghton, then carried on to the motorway to see if the path went under it. It did, but then turned right to a small hamlet and not towards the garden centre where I would have liked to get coffee. Instead I turned back under the motorway and followed a lane to the church, then walked past the village hall and crossed more fields to reach the track to Kingstown, then through housing and into the supermarket car park.

Then I had coffee in the supermarket, did my shopping and got some great reductions.

Lastly drove to the sports centre where I was to meet DH, and strolled round the park to fill in time. Played the outdoor xylophone and watched children on the climbing wall and zip wire in the jungle gym.
