Phew big day!
We climbed just under 1500m and travelled 93kms. Stunning countryside and plenty of things to see on the way like Druid standing stones (which will get a big work out in a couple of days time for the summer solstice), a town that has a documented vampire, chocolate factories and many gorgeous villages. We had a second day of rain too but it cleared up in the afternoon.
Tomorrow is a massive day – 135kms and over 1500m of climbing. Unfortunately we will have a strong 29km head wind. But we’ll be crossing the Scottish boarder and we have our one rest day the day after. I can hardly believe we’ve come this far.
