Cracking pint in Conistone and a good excuse to check the forecast and have a great day out in the Lakes

The end:

The beginning:

Early morning ride through the Dales - destination Devils Bridge.

Bloody chilly

Outdoors at the Bridge or indoors at Settle

Good decision

It was too early for most buttie stops but this pub ticked all the boxes - but I can't remember it's name

Warmed through, fed and watered - on to Bowness

Time for the ferry

Fantastic day in the lakes - unbeatable scenery

On to Conistone. The lakeside cafe rebuild is nearly complete as a result of the floods. The views however remain the same.

Hello 2011

When is the cafe at Coniston due to reopen? I'm going there in April (not on the bike but with the dogs and wife) and I like to use that cafe as it is so near the lake and we can walk there after maybe one or two too many beers in the pub.

It's open and looks brill. Lots of glass walls for good views

I didn't take a pic as some of the external paved areas have to be completed and so covered in H&S tape

Otherwise OK - but you could use me as an excuse to stay in the pub

Thanks for that

We had a ride up that way last sunday. The cafe was open and does a very good Cumberland sausage butty and passable coffee. Going again on Tuesday for a couple of nights, will try the Bluebird ale as well this time. Just hope the weather is as good as last week.
