After walking 42 km yesterday, Sue, Jenny and I wanted a shorter day today.
Richard, who remained in the background as chauffeur yesterday, was happy with that. We enjoyed Linda and Philip's breakfast at the well positioned Ginney Country Guest House (top picture), before heading to Pooley Bridge and the steamer service to Howtown, through which village we passed yesterday.
With no sign of yesterday's Macmillan event, we enjoyed coffees in the tea room before strolling back the 7.5 km to Pooley Bridge via the Ullswater Way footpath. Lunch was taken by Waterside House campsite, which looked like a pretty good place to visit, before the easy walk back to the car.
Wimbledon men's final (Djokovic beat Federer in 5th set tie break) and the Cricket World Cup final (England beat NZ because they scored more boundaries) vied for our attention during the drive home, whilst Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

When the run-out occurred and they'd only scored one run I thought we'd lost and switched back to the tennis. iIt was much later that day my son brought me up to date. Anyway, I've just watched the replay on You Tube.
I was having trouble watching the cricket (nose pressed to our small TV in the kitchen whilst Sue lazed in front of the tennis in the living room) due to the tension. Couldn't believe it when Archer managed to contain the scoring.
