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 14.5 hours, starting at 7.30am and eventually turning the last wheel on the bikes at just gone 10pm.
The ride was again mixed, firstly having to get through Carlisle and then onwards to the beauty and tranquillity of the Lakes.
We covered 68miles on bike before we climbed Scafell pike on foot which proved harder and hotter than Ben Nevis and took nearly 6hours to complete.
Highlight of the day so far, 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 chilli and crumble prepared by Yorkie's mum.
More tomorrow.

Sounds like a bit of a grueller!
ReplyDeleteTell John i've never seen him pose for so many photos, we'll have to get him a giant photo frame so he can put it up on the wall!
Good luck for the journey south,
Pete and Vanessa.
