C2C serendipity

Post by thidwick »

Out for a ride from home today, I picked up the C2C route from Kirkland (West Cumbria). Now I'm well used to this bit of the C2C route, and quite commonly cycle or drive along the roads in West Cumbria that form part of the C2C route.
....so I'm an hour or so out from home and just thinking "its been a head wind all the way" and "gosh, that's a cold wind" and " I really should have brought a sarnie and a flask of tea" when, out of nowhere, like a mirage, appears "The Log Cabin".
Amazement.
I'd never seen it before. Right at the place above Kirkland with the best views of Ennerdale Lake, is a tea-and-burger van parked in a field.
Of course I stopped.
Only me there ( and the owner behind the counter).
A truly excellent cup of tea.
Bacon sarnie made from thick cut rashers cooked just right. Brown wholemeal roll. Proper ketchup.
I parked my bike next to the van's track pump. Puncture repair kits are stocked.
There are picnic tables and chairs.
Its at the top of the hill, and every way out is downhill.
.....was I dreaming?
(I'm going to have to go back for another look....and another bacon sarnie)
