They Have Hit Penrith

July 10th, 2008 by Jogle Widow in Widow's Blog

After having a very hearty breakfast in Lochmaben they have now arrived at Penrith. The campsite were they are staying is 3 or 4 miles south of Penrith. Once the campsite owner knew they were doing the cycle ride for charity there was no charge for the pitch. The distance travelled today was 58 miles. Ian was troubled by punctures yesterday but these seem to have been sorted out.

 


Wind From The Behind

All three have arrived in Lochmaben and are camping there for tonight. They are still ahead of schdeule but not quite by one day as they had hoped they would be. The distance travelled today is 70 miles still not too bad going despite tiredness setting in and a few punctures on the way. Lochmaben is between Dumfries and Lockerbie. I think curry and chips are on the menu tonight wind again from the behind I’m afarid.


Not A Camp Site To Be Found

The Jogle boys are already into day 4 route although its only day 3. Lunch as I understand it was a curry in Gourock extra wind power I presume. They then cycled on to Troon to find a camp site but alas they were only for carvans so they carried on to Preswick where the same happen. I got a phone call at 11.20 pm to say they had found a pitch in Ayr. So they are now into day 5 of the route having covered 120 miles today


Arrived In Glen Coe

Yes the intrepid 3 have arrived safely in Glen Coe. David has got a bit of a dodgy knee over did it yesterday I think. They were on the way to a local hostelry when I spoke to them to get dinner and down a few pints. The camp site they are camping in is very scenic surrounded by mountains. Weather has been similar to that in the south raining most of the time with some very heavy down pours but no wind.


Arrived In Inverness

They have all arrived safely in Inverness and getting their breakfast in B&Q’s seems a strange place to buy breakfast now if they wanted to get plastered I would understand. After breakfast they will be on their way to John O’Groats which will take them about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
