Enroute to Dalegarth for Boot

We went through narrow country roads, up and down the fells, through narrow passes
bordered by steep bleak mountains before we finally arrived at Dalegarth for Boot.


Look at the narrow winding roads below us


Bleak and rocky

The roads were so narrow that it was not possible for two cars to pass one another .
One car had to reverse to a broader part of the road so that other could pass and
continue on its way. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road that day.

However, there were sheep grazing in some areas.


See the sheep?

At other times the bend was almost like a hairpin. Praise the Lord that my daughter
was able to manoeuvre the car expertly and drive us safely to our destination.


The almost bare mountainous fells

When we emerged from the car for a photo-stop, the wind was strong and biting!!


Wrynose Pass


Stream flowing down

It was quite a relief when we arrived at the station Dalegarth for Boot.


Finally, the Station, Dalegarth for Boot
