Today has been the most punishing so far and has tested our resolve to the full.
In total we have been on the go for 14 and a half hours, starting at 7.30am and turned the last wheel on the bikes at just gone 10pm.
The ride was again mixed, firstly having to get through Carlisle and then onto the beauty and tranquillity of the Lakes.
We covered 68miles before we climbed Scafell pike which proved harder and hotter than Ben Nevis and took nearly 6hours to complete.
Highlight of the day were bacon sarnies from a shack in a lay-bye just of the M6 but that will change, as we are just about to enjoy Yorkies mums chilli and crumble.
More tomorrow.

4 guys from dartmouth are doing something nutty. Starting at John O'Groats they will cycle to Land's End, stopping off to climb the 3 highest peaks on the way, and kyak the 3 longest lakes.
PLEASE GIVE A LITTLE
This mamoth (and mad) effort is in aid of the Dartmouth minis rugby club floodlight campaign, which aims to raise £3,000 to purchase portable floodlights that will allow the kids to play through next winter.
Please give anything you can afford - all mini players have sponsor forms, and forms are also in all of Hollis filling stations.
Alternatively, send cheques made out to Dartmouth RFC Junior Section to Cindy John, 71 Seymour Drive, Dartmouth, TQ6 9SA
