Not some odd french term, but John O'Groats - Land's End or Land's End - John O'Groats.
Four milestones passed today:
1. Joules went the entire day WITHOUT a thermal! She even took off her neck buff at lunchtime, so she has reduced the original FIVE layers to one! It must be hot! Summer has arrived!
2. We crossed the border into England. This brings mixed feelings as Scotland has been so good to us, yet we are closing in on home.
3. We passed the half way mark! We are now officially closer to Land's End than John O'Groats! A consequence of this was that we met a large number of other cyclists heading north. Greetings and nods exchanged!
4. We crossed over Shap. At 1400 feet the highest point of the ride. This is also where we met most cyclists! The descent to Kendal was delightful as the breeze cooled us.
Our accommodation tonight could not be better, a small farmhouse from 1629 with a dairy herd producing milk for their own icecream! Guess what we had on arrival!
Tomorrow will take us to Wigan, a slight change of plan, but still en route.

You are doing so well! We are quite envious! The Kendal B&B sounds lovely, we might need that address as are considering stop in Lakes en route to Scotland in June.
ReplyDeleteHope you have another sunny day today - no more layers off Joules or you may be arrested!
