Milestones....

So today we tipped the halfway mark .... i think we're now at around 560 miles and 20 miles (ish) into tomorrow's ride we shall cross the border into Scotland! 

The last few days have been hard - lots of climbing hills in the Dales & Moors (i'm pretty sure that the Moors are thus called as when you wonder how many more hills there are there's just more, MORE, MORE!)  and it seems like we haven't had many of the delightful swooping descents or 'free miles' as i like to call them! But they're over ... and we're off to Scotland... and more importantly - a rest day on Friday!!   

Thank you to all of you sending me lovely messages, voicemails, texts.... i wish i could listen to them, it seems that we only ever stop in places with absolutely no phone signal ....! Who knew that whilst the depths of Africa have almost 100% coverage... big tracts of the UK don't!!!  So forgive me for not replying - i look forward to catching up when i'm in Moffat - which surely must have signal! 

In the meantime - sleep beckons .... and the delight that tomorrow i will cycle into Scotland and towards a day off! 


Thought you might enjoy this photo.... i was somewhat relieved to get to the B&B... when i walked in - cold, tired and determined to get straight into a bath - i found some of the team in the bar and they talked me into a pint of Scrumpy! 

... Having avoided it in Cornwall, Devon & Somerset ... I had a pint in Cumbria!
