What a trip!

Over the last week, we traveled across an amazing range of countryside, scrambled up some astonishing hills, looked over miles of land from what felt like the top of the world. We waded knee deep across streams with bikes overhead, literally dragged ourselves out of peat bogs. Mad descents down what were effectively riverbeds. There were some picture postcard vistas rolling along the dales, millions of sheep and some interesting people met along the way.

With Nik's intricate planning and his 'thing' for maps, it all worked. Yes it did! The extra layer of mapping software and our GPS units, meant that we were able to move along, knowing that, yes, there really should be a bridleway across this this sodden moor. The helpful beep from the handlebars when we shot past our turning again. Thankyou Nik.

Our packhorse for the week was Nik's wife, Karen. The car, I am sure will never smell the same. Planned lunch stops in the middle of nowhere, water refills, cheese rolls & Soreen. Thankyou Karen

There will be an accumulation of C2C photos from the various cameras and phones. Nik is considering working his technology magic & doing something with actual route & photos. Watch this space.

PS., oh yes, NO PUNCTURES!
