Only a short one tonight as on the phone due to no Internet.
The day started well enough with goodbyes to john, cath and bill in Nantwich. It then plummeted, bad weather, awfull scenery of Warrington, Wigan and chorley along with pain in my knees lead to a real downer of a beginning.
Things then perked up with our guest star number one, hannah wells who popped along for lunch. With this lovely surprise and a bit of food I was rejuvinated and ready to go. It was a good job too with some if the hills I would encounter. The scenery improved massively around and past Blackburn and after I had taken the toe clips off the bike so my knees hurt less I was good to go. The hills were steep and put some of cornwalls best to shame. A long winding road over the fells of north Yorkshire was enough to finish me off after 70 miles. The bonus of the area was a visit from 2 more guest stars Frank and Margaret Edwards who supported me in and joined us for tea in ingleton (stunning place)
I hope tomorrow is a little easier although it doesn't look that way!!!!!!!!
