Day 1101                                        26th July 2019
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

35 miles (Dandin to viewpoint and restaurant. ) Average speed 7.7 mph Top speed 30 mph<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>What an incredible day.
\nI checked out after a cold shower and went across the road for two cold coffees and a raspberry bun. Then I spotted a green bunjee to hold the broken pannier in place. I\u2019m not sure they charged me for it but has helped immeasurably.<\/p>\n

I hit the road with lots of trucks at 9.30 and climbed a couple of small hills and was surprised at how long it took to get to the serious stuff. I stopped after an hour and treated myself to a cappuccino from amazon cafe, mainly to use their WiFi,  but at 1.50 a tiny cup it\u2019s expensive WiFi. I also had an overfilled sarnie, which was also 1.50 from a lovely girl at a stand. You always pay more at petrol stations, but not as bad as the U.K.! I spent a while debating which route to take while having a sprite.<\/p>\n

Then I got onto the proper climbing,<\/p>\n

Time to stop, the rain isn’t going to!<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve had some tough times during my trip but 3.1 miles up a mountain in the rain has to be one of my toughest. I slept in a windswept restaurant with a wonderful family who supplied me with amazing food and hospitality Although I probably only got two hours sleep, I enjoyed their company and tried to sleep after the man of the house threatened to cut my throat if I touched his wife whilst he was out night hunting!! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
