Carlisle... really this time!

I finally made it back to Carlisle after my visits to Gretna Green and Hadrian's Wall. I shot through peak hour traffic to the car park near Carlisle Castle, knowing that I'd be cutting it fine if I was to actually go into the castle. Sadly, I didn't make it. I got to the outside of it, and the guy told me that they'd closed ten minutes before I got there. When I told him that I'd been caught up in the M6 traffic, he left me go into the courtyard to at least see part of the castle, even if I couldn't go inside.
