Day 7 Wilmslow to Lancaster
68.7 miles in 380 mins
Despite being a few miles off the route, staying at Richard's was a great help, as he was able to direct us through the manchester suburbs and even cycled with us for the first hour or so. We managed to find a decent route that didn't go on any major roads and the only negative about the day was the stonking headwind (but that did start to die down by the end of the day). We got to a decent B&B in Lancaster and had a huge meal. We counted 2 ferraris and a maserati on the road - Oliver was beginning to make a tally of all the posh cars. We also stopped at a pub for lunch, where they had the largest dog i've ever seen.

To give you an idea of how strong the headwind was, the generally downhill first hour and a bit cycling where I followed them only took me 40 minutes to get back home - retracing my steps (well, wheel rotations) on the same route - generally uphill. I think I may have broken a personal record between the M56 and home in terms of time as well!
