We left West Linton in a mist that told us it was going to be sunny later and it wasn't wrong. A different day altogether from anything we have done before, We knew it would be a big day for ascent and with about 75 miles to do we hoped it would not be too hot. Most of the day was spent on B roads and this made a refreshing change. These roads were undulating and quiet and we both agreed it was the nicest day so far. There were two or three consistent climbs but these were followed by good runs downhill so it's swings and roundabouts. We arrived at Craigburn Farmhouse exhausted but with a deep sense of satisfaction in two days we have the longest day and then the two demons of height and distance will have been slayed.
We continue to get donations but could do with a few more to reach 50% of our total you can give by texting GRAC63 to 70070 including how much you want to give but there is an upper limit of £10. I know the two charities that we are doing this for are following our progress and would like to thank everyone that has donated. The Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team has had five calls for help while we have been on this ride, these included searching for the vulnerable and despondent. You may be interested to know that the team receives no funding other than donations and the payments we make to be members. So 50% of everything you give will go to helping make sure that service continues. The other 50% will help make sure Grace can obtain the treatment she needs to continue improving the way she is.
So today's route and all the states that have made me ache so much are here
Tonight we reside in ENGLAND.
