Lesley's dessert at The Old School Rooms with freshly picked raspberries

Arrived Tebay and had showers, then tea and scones.
Gale force winds forecast for tomorrow from 70 mph and gusts to 100 mph.

Day 7 - Burbanks to Orton, 7 hours, 20 km

We arrived at Shap Abbey above, then Shap. Unfortunately because it was Sunday the local cafe was closed. We had tea at the pub then headed off over over the moors.
