10 am start at Dalston New Car Park then Great Orton, Monkhill, Beaumont , Burgh by Sands , Thurston field , Kirkbampton to Watchtree at 16 miles.The cafe is being decorated tomorrow's so they can only offer take-away from the kitchen. There could be the option of shortening the morning and having a one-stop at the King's Arms, Bowness on Solway but this could be discussed in the morning. The pub is able to provide soup, sandwiches and the like as well as tea and coffee. Anyone going 'around the island' via Anthorn and Cardurnock will do an extra 6 miles, otherwise the route is about 42 miles. There are some floods that are passable and some hedge trimmings after Monkhill.
The wind is from the West with max gusts of 29mph which will make it feel like -1degC. There is the slight chance of a shower and sleet at 4pm. Not for the fainthearted but better weather than recently.
