INDY Aug 31, 2024 Braithwaite, Barrow

Distance 6.48 km, Time 2.27 h, Total Ascent 417 m Imperial | Metric

INDY SAYS: I like Barrow, easy on the feet. And lots of water around as well. I also love Serrano Ham. And olives. And crisps.

Driving to The Lakes, it's a long route but hopefully we'll have the energy for a short walk when we arrive

Straight into a small stream for Indy, she's been cooped up in the car for 6+ hrs

Nothing like a cool, fresh, drink!
