Day 9

We've spent today getting back into the routine of life on the road after a whole day and 2 nights off. A massive thank you to Nan and Grandad for their brilliant hospitality, as always - fantastic food and a whole new set of clean cycling gear! The 5 star site comes highly recommended to anyone caravanning in the area. We managed to tear Greg away from the comfort of a bed using a full english fry up as bait, then bid a reluctant farewell to our extended support team who have treated us spectacularly well, and tentatively got back on the saddles.


There was a quick photo shoot for the local press to attend to before the riders headed out of Oswestry and into the Cheshire countryside. The stretches of canal along the way are well known to the Proberts and we used our maritime knowledge to locate a marina cafe where we re-fueled, surrounded by hundreds of barges.


In what was probably our easiest day of cycling so far, we ate up the 54 miles to reach our final destination - the spookily named 'Gravestones farm', let's hope we survive the night!
