After yesterday's inclement weather
caused a change of plan, the team started today from Albert Dock in
Liverpool, rather than Chorley, adding an extra 30 miles to the route to
Ambleside on Lake Windermere.
The day was fine, with blue sky's and no rain, thank goodness!
This
cheered the intrepid trio as they negotiated the morning rush hour
through Liverpool and out of the city, passing Aintree racecourse on the
way.
The
added solar power ensured a good pace to the first break at The Anchor
Inn, Hutton, just outside Preston, where Max and Rob allowed us the use
of their 'comfort' facilities. (Thanks guys).
After coffee it was plain sailing all the way
to lunch at Carnforth, Morecombe Bay
where potted shrimps were compulsory!
Fab views abounded as we headed towards Lake Windermere and on to
Ambleside, our final destination for Day 6.
Ambleside, our final destination for Day 6.
Today's
ride was further than originally planned, due to the amendment of day
5's route but we're back on track and to the origional plan!
It's off to bonny Scotland tomorrow!!!
Hope you've got through the worst of the weather now and relaxing by the lakeside?
