So a week after setting out, our stalwart cyclists have endured all that Scotland has levelled at them - the terrain & weather being top of the list (but also the baked potatoes with a haggis topping!) - & have returned (just) to England.
It has been a week of ups & downs (quite literally) & today has been no different because they've had to cope with hills aplenty & have had another complete drenching :( Thankfully they're nearly at the hotel where they are very much hoping they will each be able to have a nice long soak in the bath - I know this thought has been keeping Johnny going, whereas Mark's sustenance is in the form of Jelly Babies at the moment :-) Then a good supper & sleep, & they'll be ready to take on the Cumbrian hills tomorrow.
The planned route for day 8 was to be about half the distance of today, but twice the altitude! However they are going to review it & see if they can't find a somewhat gentler route. A little clue as to their destination tomorrow....they could bring us all some mint cake back from here :0)
