Day 5: Welsh Bicknor to Clun Mill 65 miles
A better day to-day, with the legs feeling rather better than yesterday. Not sure whether the improvement is the result of my physical improvement or the result of being stung by nettlers whilst cycling earlier. If this is the case possibly we should consider soundly thrashing members of the Olympic team with nettles before events. Comments welcome from anyone and as you can imagine from members of the UK Olympics team in particular.
The main issue this evening has been food, the pubs do in the area do not start serving food until 19:00(it is a Sunday after all). Finally bought junk from convenience store, which does not look good for tomorrow given the hostel is self catering for breakfast.
Congratulations to Damian who I met at Cheddar and who, through time constraints, had chosen to ride from Okhampton to LE in one push, and succeded!
Congratulations!
