Rainstorms: 1
We were greeted this morning with grey skies, and for the whole of the morning I viewed the sky with suspicion.
The morning's work was tough - there was a big climb out of Skelsdale, and that was the start of a day of climbing.
Rain was certainly afoot, and it duly arrived after lunch. However we certainly didn't melt - the waterproofs did their job valiantly and we weathered the storm.
Today's journey through Lancashire, Yorkshire, back into Lancashire and then Cumbria saw the scenery changing subtley - the dedication of the Yorkshire to tilling the land would appear far greater than that of the Lancastrians!
No matter where we were though, the hills remained a challenge. Tomorrow will be the same for the long climb into Scotland, and there is also more rain forecast. Great.
Did another great link-up with Original 106 again - thanks David, always great to hear you breaking into a sweat just thinking about the challenge! Don't forget to listen out again on Thursday between 11-12 for the next aural installment.
Till next time,
