Sunday 8th June 2008 - Stage 6

On a cloudy cold Sunday morning we rolled out of Kendal with an air of uncertainty of what lay ahead. The stage started with a steady climb of 300m (1000ft) to the highest road point Shap Fell in Britain.


It was there that the sun was shining above the low cloud base. The pace then picked up as we rolled into Penrith and then Carlisle. We knew we were about to leave England and another major mile stone was going to be met.

Unfortunately a diversion saw 5 miles extra put onto the journey as there were works on the A74
