Rest day
Decided to stay for another night and have a rest day. Said goodbye to James and Liz who were on their way to Korea. Went for a ride without bags, was lovely as too to stay around the campsite. Conquered hill and saw beautiful views, went down to the sea and had a dip. Bought meat on sticks and bee...
Sunday dinner
Had a good ride but both very tired and achy now. Stopped to make coffee and boiled eggs, I said we needed an egg glove to eat them, Steven invented a tv series called Eggglove while we waited for them to cool down. Rode up and down more hills, stopped for well earned iced vanilla latte. Came to c...

They had many years and countries under their cycle hats and we spoke about cycling in China. Met them again a...
A dry day in the saddle

A couple in the campsite setting up next to us came over and gave a a handful of goodies and said 't...
Getting to Heathrow

We got on the train from Worcester Parkway with both the bikes and all the bags, which are really heavy. Huge thanks to Dad Mike and Uncle Stephen for getting us there early a...
