We've probably lost a little enthusiasm these last couple of days and it's hard not to think that we left the best of our journey north of Blackburn! It's still nice countryside, but not as dramatic. Today was another fast day; nice and flat out of Chester, we were in Wales for a while, and then up the Long Mynd in Shropshire to Clun. The Youth Hostel, which Becky is outside in today's pic, is a very nice, old water mill. We're still being incredibly lucky at avoiding the rain, arriving again just before it shovelled it down! And in case you were wondering whether Bex had packed the umbrella she was sporting in yesterday's picture, she borrowed it from the Youth Hostel. Simple, but devilishly clever... Mostly cloudy with some sunny spells and light rain and strong easterly winds, 68.7m, 7h, bum factor 5 but the arthritis is setting in now!
