Shap Fell! Need we say more. Pete got there first like a man on mission. Since the last time it appears to have lost a launch at the top and gained one further down. The support crew were on a mission of their own to find a cup of tea (and black coffee for our QC) for the cyclists. The day started with rain but soon dried out to leave sunny intervals all day and a cross wind. Rex continued his travails with the red lights of each town almost as if he was searching for them. He was then brought to order and 'press ganged' into cycling in a chain. We arrived at the hotel rather later than we originally expected and in keeping with previous trip we are staying at a motorway services. Pete really knows how to book 'em.
Pete: We did however have the best meal of the trip to celebrate Bok and Ali's 45th wedding anniversary: what an amazing couple. We highly recommend the Farmers Arms, Wood Lane, Heskin, Chorley; a pub in the grand old and sadly dwindling tradition, great food and very friendly landlord.
