Day 6 Gretna Green to Garstang (view larger map to see route)
Probably the stage I’m looking forward to least. Need to head virtually due south, which by car is simple – on the M6. Obviously can’t do that on bikes, so the solution is the A7 down to Carlisle. Straight through the town centre to save some miles, then follow the old A6 all the way to Garstang.
We do pass through Penrith, Kendall & Lancaster on the way, so at least grabbing some food shouldn’t be an issue.
