Ran solo and self-supported, starting Ulverston 2000 Thursday 8th June finishing Carlisle just before 1830 Friday 9th June.  Short refuel stops in Keswick and Caldbeck, otherwise carried all food.  Had to use diversion as Dalston-Cummersdale cycle path remains closed; chose the east of river option (difficult!) rather than road.  Added approx 15-20 minutes to time.  Returned to route to find chemical factory gates locked, so continued on east of river until crossing at Dalton Holme.  Again, not an easier route; added time.
