Keswick at last

81 miles today and Bill's knee held up fantastically so we are delighted. Thank heavens for drugs and his grim determination to carry on!

Both a bit tired but once the rain stopped by 4 we had fantastic views of the mountains and passes on the way down from the high fells.

We had some fantastic carrot cake today and I counted at least 10 flat hedgehogs, must be a hedgehog thing I guess. Off to get bikes serviced first thing then Lancaster is next stop.

Happy days

Oban

That really was not very nice, but the good news was that I have not been troubled by midges!
No cakes today and on reflection I am rather glad to see the back of Hurricane Irene.

A very tough day with long steep hills so double rations of pasta & Guiness.

Happy day's

Caledonia Canal




Sent from phone with keys too small for my fat fingers so please forgive smelling. Happy days.A truly horrid day!

Fort William

I hope next time I cycle such a beautiful route I can see more than 50 yards. A very hard day for all sorts of reasons not least of all was cycling for so long into driving rain and strong headwinds. Any way now eating a meat pasta dish for four or a very hungry JOGLER!

One high point was a red deer that I startled on the north shore of loch lochy.

Time for more food. Good night and thanks for your interest.
