Day 10 Carlisle to Lanark

78.3 miles in 425 mins

Today was very exciting. After deciding that our intended route to Glasgow was woefully ineffient, we decided to scrap it completely and go up the standard route, stopping to stay in Lanark. This was all decided under a motorway bridge, just after crossing the border into Scotland. It involved cancelling and finding B&Bs at short notice and gearing up for a longer day. Then, as we set out on the new road it began to rain and then, when we shook that off, the hills began. The road through the hills was very good and the scenery pleasant, however the wind was still vexed. All in all, when we got to Lanark, we were fairly tired. We stayed with a little wee scatty Scottish lady in her B&B, which was nice. We had a well expensive Italian in the town, but it was worth it.
