Day 4 Land’s End to John O’Groat’s

A much less climbing day today. Down to about 900m and mostly gradual. Still a hard slog against a strong head wind. Thank goodness for the tall hedge rows which give some shelter. Still pretty cold too so we are riding in longs and arm warmers as well as a jacket for the cold wind.

The forecast is for a little warmer today but possible showers.

I’m really worried though as yesterday I was suffering all day from acute tendonitis in the Achilles. I’m hobbling even to walk last night. This could be a adventure ending problem for both our riding and walking so I don’t want to think about it.

The bum is still all cut up too. You’d think I didn’t do any training for this! Honest, I was out every day practically.

We are in beautiful Wells last night – an amazing medieval town in Somerset. It really brings home the power, wealth and influence that the Bishops had.

We are heading north into Wales today so should have thethe (strong again) wind on our sides rather than on the nose which might be good.
