Arrived safely in Leamington Spa. One or two slight hitches but no major disasters. The plan was to pick up NCR 48 after Edgehill but we managed to sail past the turning as we flew down a steep hill which of course entailed pushing the bikes back up to get ourselves back on track. This made a slightly dispiriting start to the day!
Generally the waymarking was not as good today so there was rather more stopping to read the map. There was also some really heavy downpours and Nigel’s chain fell off! On the plus side, there was some lovely sunshine between the rain and lots of quiet and beautiful lanes and paths. We navigated the tow path beside the Grand Union successfully.
Lovely to be with Nick and Ann this evening. Now dried out, clean and having a beer! Tomorrow is a city day. Warwick, Kenilworth, Coventry and Nuneaton.
Wonderful pics and blog update
Glad you’re there safely.
How’s the legs ?
Legs OK so far. Steep hills are a bit of a challenge.
We can’t believe that gorgeous thatched cottage. So just look out for and blog us the chocolate box scene everyday!
Doing well so far hope the sun keeps shining . Will follow your progress daily. Fantastic amount of sponsorship so far brilliant !!! Sincerely hope not too many more steep hills !!! Hope the vouchers come in handy to give you energy.
Lots of Love Trish and Martin xxx Best of Luck as always. Day 3.
Thanks Trish and Martin. Weather pretty good so far- most rain at night. Uphill tomorrow but hopefully not too steep.
