great trail on the second day

today's route started beautifully, with a fairly long 20 % climb out of Pooley Bridge. On above photo you can see Frans sweating towards the end of one of these ascends.

Unfortunately we descended a bit to far at one point towards Ulswater lake. Luckily we found a great cafe with a terrace, for some coffee before heading back up.

Following some more climbing we were awarded with an amazing downhill all the way to Threlkeld, where we found a great pub with a beergarden for lunch. Thqt is where are resting now, about to set off for the last leg of today's trail. We are expecting some difficult and technically challenging single tracks. We'll see.

Hasta la próxima
