22nd October – Enjoyed a lovely walk from Carlisle Citadel Station to Wetheral today. Followed the River Petteril upstream to Carleton, where I passed the inviting The Nosey Cow Inn, en route to cross the M6 bound for Scotby. Continuing by a quiet green lane to Wetheral where I chatted with a quartet of more than happy walkers partaking of afternoon tea at the Posting Pot, having completed the penultimate day on the Settle-Carlisle Way.
