....into the north

Miles: 95 (total 480)
Punctures: 0
Counties: 2

Hot and sunny - further adventures of Slug Man and Beetle Boy.

Left the 'Shellsuit Arms' at 7.30.

Off through the very pretty Cheshire countryside to Stockton Heath and a cuppa with the Potts family - thanks for the cheque.

Made steady progress through the urban
sprawl and scally lands of Warrington / Wigan / Preston. Lunched off the A49, having passed what appeared to be a local gangland funeral - nice!

Dashed through to Lancaster and thence to Bolton-le-Sands for more tea with Nina Sou and the girls (Nina, Nick says he's sorry for the aromatic gift he deposited in the smallest room).

Now in sunny Kendal, off for tea. Tomorrow we face the challenge of Shap - littered with the bones (or in my case, blubber) of failed end-to-enders. If we get through that then we'll be bathing our battered bots in Scotland.

Chaps, I am a biker who works with Dave 'BOY' Lee and offer my heartiest congrats to you both. Keep the foot to pedal as the weather is a changing. All the best.

At this rate you'll be finished by Tuesday!! Make your way to the Rising Sun the next time you visit Tarporley (no shellsuits on display), hopefully the Chinese went down better. Enjoy Shap today!!
