We set off in rain but in good spirits. I told myself that I would settle for rain rather than wind (although I had envisaged sunshine and little breeze). However hopes were soon dashed. That wind picked up again and this morning it was like a washing machine so we were tossed in every direction except forward. Spirits were low, we were not psychologically prepared.
I only took 8 kit kats to get me through compared to 10 on windy Sunday. Liam, one of the group then got attacked and bitten by a rottweiler which needed Dr Graham's attention and the rest of us had to be put in the van for a mile to bypass the dog. Punctures were 2 a penny, thankfully I didn't get one as this afternoon, which incidentally was fantastic; I cycled alone so I could get some decent pace but I didn't have a bike pump and have not confessed to not being able to change a back wheel puncture. Thankfully the good Lord heard my prayer and I arrived home in good time to be met by my aunt and uncle who live nearby. And the pressure sore you all ask? Well some good cream and strict sleeping on my side meant that things were no worse this morning, a similar routine tonight.
