We slept in again on Sunday
We were feeling lazy anyway so we got a bus into Carlisle and walking in the parks would be nice. No sheep for Squeaky to chase so she could have a bit of a run.

Beefy and Squeaky in Rickerby Park
It was a dull and murky day with low cloud. We stopped for some lunch near the Millenium Bridge. Squeaky had some tuna from a plastic bowl. A golden retriever came bounding along and tried to eat the plastic bowl
I managed to get that off the dog but wasn't quick enough to rescue a plastic bag that it swallowed
The dog's owner came along apologising. We told her that the dog had managed to eat a plastic bag. We hope it is ok.
Squeaky near the River Eden
We walked along the deserted golf course next to the river

This footbridge needs some TLC
This was like this last year. Care needed going across it obviously!
Looking north from the A69
Our route was Carlisle - Bitts Park - Sheepmount - Eden Bridge - Rickerby Park - Millenium Bridge - River Eden footpath to Rosehill Tesco - home. 10km with 30m ascent. A bit of a leg stretch and not a bad walk to do when you feel lazy. It was good to see Squeaky having the freedom to run about
