After a tussle during the night with some racoons who were trying to break into our paniers to steal food, we made an early start in fresh but beautiful weather. The first 3 miles were really tough - a long steep climb but after 10 miles we found a roadside shack serving grim coffee. The owners were on the porch - apparently they'd lived at that same place all their life and remembered back to the war in 1945.
2 further long hills and heavy traffic in parts made the day quite a slog but the best part was meeting up along the way with a group of Adventure Cyclists. Rob chatted briefly to the leader and mentioned he'd done 2 other trips with Adventure Cycling. It turned iut we were hesding for the same campsite so we were invited to join them for supper that evening - what a treat after a hard day.
Glad to see that the weather is picking up for you guys and the coastal scenery looks great.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from cycling down the Welsh coast last week. Frank and I were very fortunate in catching probably the last week of good weather this summer ..... it was glorious and Anglesey,the Lleyn Peninsula and the Pembrokeshire Coast provided very scenic views with pretty little coastal towns and villages. Lots of steep little hills to contend with but worth it for the views.
Keep up the good work and the blog.
