Day 19 Much Wendlock to Whitney on Wye. 80kms

It was a late start as we waited for the mornings torrential rain to ease off.

We climbed out of Much Wenlock crossing the Corve Dale in clearing weather to an even more beautiful medieval town of Ludlow. For an hour we became tourists walking our bikes through the narrow streets while marvelling at the sense of history.

From Ludlow it was towards the Welsh boarder into more wind! Even with pain killers my knees are feeling the effect of 19 days bike riding.

Beautfiul bridge along the way 

Richards Castle,Shobdon & Lyonshall quickly passed before we were lost once more at an unsigned intersection near Eardisley-thank the British as we were soon headed on our way finishing the day at The Boat Inn that backs on to the Wye river.

I'm beginning to struggle both physically & mentally as day after day of big riding can be dammed tiring.

I know though that I am close to the rest day in Honiton & close to finishing this epic cycle which I hope in looking back will mean much to me as well as to Anne & Belinda.

Roll on the end!
