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.

We are starting this post with a lot of thank you’s. Firstly to all those that have sponsored us so far I believe the totaliser now stands at around 1,500 which is really amazing. Now the people that have helped us on the way. Ian would like to thank the sheep that so kindly led him along the road. We’d all like to thank Lowther Holiday Park who kindly gave us free accommodation tonight, excellent facilities already we feel rejuvenated. Ian’s friend Martin and family have been brilliant letting us crash one night, feeding us and getting us up to john o’groats in the first place. We would also like to thank the Taj Mahal restaurant in Gourock who let us park our bikes in the restaurant to eat our dinner, they also serve really good food. We will post links of their websites soon.
