We wound around the peninsula north of Silloth and onto Brampton. Though long in distance, most of it was flat and did not feel like such a long day. Another bright sunny day, which, reportedly, is very rare in this part of England. Scotch Arms Mews is a converted set of stables that have been serving as the local watering hole for quite some time. The recent owners took over, gutted the place and tastefully renovated into very nice B&B. The proprietress runs the bar at night, as well, which seems well patronized by the locals, who all seem to know each other. We were explicitly encouraged to bring “takeout” food, so we ordered 3 Indian dishes to go, plopped ourselves down in the bar area, and feasted on very intensely spiced curries, all the while taking in the local scene.
