Thanks Dovegirl and Adalard
Beefy took the photos though not me
Hope the convalescence is speedy and all successful.
Thanks Jac, I hope it is speedy, I'm bored already
Nice there, innitt?
It is nice
I'll have to have a chat with my friends who live in Carlisle about meeting up and doing a little walk through both parks one day.
There is a footpath along the river all the way to the M6 that connects the two parks. The Memorial suspension bridge is closed in Rickerby Park at the moment but you can cross the river at Eden Bridge instead.
Good luck with your recovery April, and looking forward to bumping into both of you out on the Lakeland fells somewhere soon.
Thank you Lakeland Lorry, I do hope to bump into you very soon
My legs are feeling "normal" again after a few months of not having full strength in them
Enjoy your convalescence.
Thanks Penygadair but I am very impatient to be better again so I'm not enjoying it
Would I be correct in thinking that Rickerby Park is where the Hadrians Wall Path passes through, near the cenotaph? I remember it being lovely and colourful as I passed through it before coming of the Hadrians Wall path into Carlisle city centre.
It is indeed on the Hadrians Wall Path. Rickerby and Bitts parks are well looked after by the council and May and June are particularly good colour months in Bitts Park. They are nice all year round too, especially at the minute with the autumnal colours
