In Moffat by 7pm - without a doubt the best day yet. Andy and Steve sneaked an early start at 8.30 a.m. all prepared for the 110 miles that included the infamous Shap pass at 1400ft. The remaining group left at 9.30 and pushed hard to catch the others in Kendal.
Quickly reaching Penrith the whole team then stopped for coffee before absolutely belting out the remaining 60 miles on great tarmac along the A6 and A7 through Carlisle, Gretna and then Ecclefechan.

Andy Parker has been fantastic with just a little help from his auxiliary engine - Steve Shimmin - who surely needs tests if not only to determine whether of not he is human or bionic!
A great day.
Tomorrow is 86 miles to Balloch on Loch Lomond with a forecast of head winds and driving rain - great!!
Here's a photo especially for Viv!
your all doing a great job x :)
