Day 14 - Malham to Sowerby - 93km's

Monika on the road

The definition of stress - lost 3 times during the day thanks to poor signage, down to a micrometer on my brake pads, no lunch, out of water & in the fading gloom unable to find any accommodation near Sowerby Bridge 6okm's short of our intended destination.

10 hours of cycling in not to bad weather for only 90+ km's sums it all up. All seem to be going well until a well hidden sign on a canal tow path saw us heading towards Leeds.

Finally back on track we painfully navigated our way around Colne before heading across incredibly steep moorland road into usual strong headwinds to Hebden Bridge.

With gloom setting in we were finally directed to accommodation at the premiere Inn in somewhere near Halifax arriving at 8.45pm - it was that or sleep in the Sowerby train station.

Yes Mick as great as the scenery has been, this has certainly been no holiday. We've cycled some 1100km's & looking to getting through the industrial heartland in one piece.

Love to all.
