We decided to stop at Aira Force after a long drive for a quick break and leg-stretch before arriving at our cottage.
Unfortunately it didn't work out too well, narrowly missed a speeding lorry on the road around Ullswater which resulted in a shredded tyre. We limped into the car park at Aira Force and had a quick walk whilst waiting for a chap from the garage at Penrith.

We were on our way after a couple of hours, via a tyre garage in Keswick.
