Yesterday was a very difficult day and in retrospect, I wouldn't like to have done it alone. So glad John came with me. Once we got to Bootle we had to walk all the way round the Esk estuary to get to Ravenglass and there were many gullies and ditches and places almost impossible to cross. Also, the way was badly marked and sometimes we couldn't believe we were expected to go that way! very beautiful though
very weary when we reached Ravenglass but still managed to appreciate a superb roman bath house, Ravenglass was an important roman fort.
Todays walk was shorter and much easier and mainly along the coast and we made good time. The weather of course was absolutely gorgeous.

We lived in Whitehaven for three and a half years and we know that this beautiful coast contains a down side - Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant and all the pollution that goes with it - it was one of the reasons why we left, it dominates everything.
