65 miles today, not too strenuous, but rain pretty much all the way, so obscuring any nice views. What was thought to be a water proof pocket that his mobile was in...wasn't and the mobile was found to be dead in a pool of water. So apologies if you texted today and didn't get reply. Spare mobile being sorted for tomorrow, will pass on number when I've checked it.
Interesting ride through depressed, ex mining communities, now experiencing high unemployment. Rode over moors, sadly in pouring rain, on approach to Glasgow.
Richard is staying tonight with Hugh, a work colleague from the Scottish office..and I believe his clothes and kit are strewn all over trying to dry it out. A nice image to conjure. Thanks to Hugh and family for a good meal and warmth!

A nerd was walking down the road when his friend, another nerd, rode up on an incredible shiny new bicycle.
The first nerd was stunned and asked, "WOW! Where did you get such a nice bike?"
The second nerd replied, "Well, yesterday I was walking home, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up to me on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want!'"

Hi Richard, you seem to be doing really well, well done! Good luck for the last few days. Ian Y
Richard was remarkably well house trained and no trouble at all last night. But we did feel a lot of sympathy for him when he set off in the pouring rain this morning. It cleared up in Glasgow by lunch time - so we hope the weather was better where Richard was riding.
Good luck Richard & Ade
Hugh, Allison & Fiona
Lynne?
Are you being cheeky to the Boss?

Hi Richard
