Seascale - a ride with cake and ice cream

Starting from Seascale car park we follow the Hadrian's Way national cycling route down to the pretty village of Ravenglass. At Ravenglass we will have a cafe stop and try to find a table at the Rosegarth which affords great views of the estuary. On the return journey, just as we make the final descent into Ravenglass we can stop for an ice cream. The journey is mainly on tarmac, but there is a stretch along the side of the estuary which will shake up any racing machine on narrow tyres. The journey from Seascale to Holmrook is rolling (it will give the legs a bit to do, although no mahoosif climbs) but the second half of the trip to Ravenglass is nice and flat. Our usual way of riding will apply, in that we never leave anyone behind, and it is fine to carry on chatting as one walks up a hill. This is supposed to be fun, and we are not in a rush. As the route goes along the side of the estuary, I have checked the tide timetable - so unless I have made a huge mistake we will be absolutely fine. If anyone hasn't been down to the Roman baths at Ravenglass, or people would simply like to cycle a tiny bit more, we can always pop along the cycle way to see them.
