We did it!!

Clitheroe to Kirkby Stephen 56 miles

Ended the day with a real sense of achievement - but getting that was so exhausting I was too tired to blog until today.
Late start after visiting a bike shop to get some recovery drink - hopefully this will help to overcome the fatigue. 
Long climb up onto the moors, and at the top I had a little nap. The tough headwind that has been with us from the start of the trip makes even the downhill sections difficult.
Great coffee and lunch in High Bentham which we needed for the ordeal ahead.
The long steep climb up to Dent station would be tough enough without freshly laid gravel - first walk of the trip so far.
Late finish but there is a bath at the lovely B&B so we are OK.
