Day 58: Sunday 5th June 2022
Worried about the long journey today from near Carlisle to Stafford, we set off early at 6.45am to try to get past the Lakes, as we expected it to be very busy with people leaving from their bank holiday breaks. Luckily, for the most of the way, the traffic was fine, although awful weather which made some of the motorway challenging to drive due to the spray.
We stopped a couple of times at the services once we were nearly there, as we were very early!! The last part of the journey was perhaps the most difficult of this whole road trip surprisingly! A small section of road was closed due to a street party, so we were directed down a narrow lane meeting lots of traffic coming the other way. We were very glad that it was not a big diversion, but the roads in the area generally remained very narrow for several miles, so we were relieved to get to the campsite!
As the weather is still not great, we have not done much today.
Hope everyone has had a nice bank holiday weekend!
