Hope it's better tomorrow, our friends travelled up today , over 3.5 hours with a long detour with the motorway closed at junction 29
If there's resurfacing and barrier work to complete, it'll take some time before it reopens. Fortunately the weather is good & they can crack on with the work.Long detour at junction 39 Sharp to 40 Penrith. All closed due to lorry overturn onto the central reservation.
It’s all closed going north.
We came up today and turned off at Barrow/south lakes and went passed Windermere over Kirkstone pass up past up past Ullswater to Pooley Bridge then on to A66 to rejoin at junction 40.
Added around 1 hour 30 mins on so get ready to set off earlier if it’s still closed as stated above.
Also slow traffic returning south as they have shut outside lane for repair.
Set off early
There’s load of trains!10.59 sold out as well.
Why anyone would even try to use the train - they're a disgrace.
That’s a great pub tigger.We set off at 3pm, came off at Kendal and came through the lakes and then north via mungrisdale
A journey that should have taken 1:40 took 2:45
A couple of pints in the Old Crown in Hesket Newmarket softened the blow of the extended journey
Hope it clears by tomorrow for the rest of the intrepid travellers from the Gold Coast
Robinsons free zone NickThat’s a great pub tigger.
