On Sunday I walked west along the A69 and joined the footpath near Tesco that leads to the river
Here is the map for this area
The footpath leading to the River Eden
It was very dry underfoot, I'd expected it to be muddy.
The River Eden
There were a few people about here, much busier than yesterday's walk
What we used to call the Bridge of Death, has now been repaired
Its new name is The Bridge of Death That Has Been Repaired. I had thought I might have to turn back here because the fb has been closed so I hadn't really planned the walk. I decided to keep going west. It wasn't as nice as the walk from yesterday, I could hear the traffic on the motorway and the traffic on the A69.
Swans
The northern fells from the riverside path
That is Skiddaw on the right
Stony Holme Golf Course
People like playing golf in Carlisle, this is another golf course within a few miles of the other one from yesterday. The footpath enters the golf course but still stays close to the river, well the ROW I continued on does.
Tree in blossom
I crossed the Memorial Footbridge and walked along the river bank in Rickerby Park. There were a lot of runners and walkers but nowhere near as busy as it would be normally.
Eden Bridge Gardens
The wind got really strong all of a sudden. I turned around and made my way back home again.
Heron in Rickerby Park
I had to fight against the wind all the way home. The walk was about 8 miles. The sound of the traffic on the M6 and along the A69 spoils this walk a bit but it was good leg stretch.
