Day 14



Wednesday 31 May

It seemed like my prayers were answered today, I had a much better day. Sunny all day (shock! Horror!) which was a bit of a result, even if I’d given up on the idea in Wigan & ditched my sun cream then.

Tough run today, hilly, but I needed to crack it to bring a week-end finish within reach. The pub-hotel I stopped in this afternoon for a coffee had a real fire on, and we’re still in May! It was cold, and houses I passed had smoke issuing from their chimneys. I am quite far north now, further north than Glasgow & Edinburgh. I saw my first live deer in the wild today as well, which made a nice change from the dead deer, rabbits, foxes and badgers I’ve been seeing on the side of the road…. She was beautiful, looked at me startled for a second, and then bounded off into the forest.

66 miles, total so far 724m.
