Now THAT was an annoying end to a great day

[Succorso]

Greetings folks,

Cycled the Peddars Way today from South Acre all the way to
Holme. Longest off road stretch I've done - just over 35km.

Spent a relaxing half hour on the beach at Holme (tide was
coming in, so you could actually see the sea today) munching
Cheese and Marmite sarnies, and then managed to find NCN 1
from Ringstead to Burnham Market. Just managed to reach the
pub before the heavens opened; and they had Woodfordes...
Mmmmm.... yummy.

A couple of halves later, ploughed on towards home, but
had to stop at Litcham and give way to a thunderstorm. So
there I was, stood in the bus shelter waiting for some
kind of chink of blue in the clouds, but in the end had to
call up the Rescue Squad and get me - dinner time loomed,
and I wasn't prepared to take on the exposed road with all
that lightning coming down - not to mention the hail and
monsoon rain!

So, with 98.7km on the clock, I had to butt out at the
last 10km.

Ah well, still a great day !

I was sat at home watching it out of the office window ;-)

Plus - Chris - do you have the phone number of the Unfit
Family? If you are ever stuck out like that and the Rescue
Squad is unavailable - you can always try us. If we are in,
we'll gladly act as secondary rescue squad if we can.

Cheers, helen s

That's very kind Helen, thanks - yes I have the number
safely stashed in Outlook - but probably not yet on the
Mobile <blush>.

I had to ride home with the rain pelting down on the sunburn
I'd got this morning. It washed the sweat off, but didn't
cool me down enough to put a long-sleeved top on. Last week
it was hail melting on my sweaty bare arms and legs.

Dunnit make yer proud to be British?
