Day 2


Big day today. Very hard. We covered about the same distance as yesterday but took 30 minutes longer. From the hotel it was uphill then a series of steep river valleys culminating in Dartmoor which was far and away the biggest and hardest hill I've ever climbed. 23kph average and max 73kph tells the story of the terrain. I'm really pleased with myself for doing it. John and Werner power up most of the hills ahead of me but then I'm carrying 32kg more weight than John and a few kg more than Werner plus 20 years so I don't feel bad. Beth came past two or three times today and shouted support which really helped. She's been so good to me. I love her a lot.
