Unfortunately the couple of beers had completely different effects on us both. While the couple of stellas gave Mr Gough super human strength today, the couple of ales I had helped to produce a woeful display as I struggled up all of the numerous hills that we encountered (I'm sure that there was at least 40).
Some nifty navigating by Andy G meant that we avoided the dreaded stretch along the A6 and we ended up in the middle of the M6 (on purpose I hasten to add).This was the highlight of our day and we where literally in the middle of the M6, one side of us was the northbound carriageway and the otherside the southbound. This also tells you that the day was pretty uneventful by all accounts. Although the scenery over some of the Yorkshire dells was pretty amazing once we had struggled up them. Also another milestone was achieved as we made it up the 2nd tallest climb we will encounter on our trip, bring on Cornwall!
The weather looks like it is about to change so from a dry and mostly sunny day we are expecting to get a tad wet tomorrow for when we cycle through the fabulous cities of Blackburn, Bolton and Crewe!
