13 down - 1 to go
A comparatively short day - but made worse by the wind, Pretty uneventful day. Last night, after watching the football, I took the management (body management)decision of taking the shortest route to Buxton, irrespective of the road. So off up the A5 and a number of other major roads. When I reached Ashbourne I was in for a shock. The road to Buxton was very hilly, even the road out of Ashbourne was a serious climb. But 20 miles of up and down finally finished my legs, once and for all. Then we reached the campsite - Clover Fields Touring Caravan Park - Harpur Hill (Buxton), we pitched up and my brother then arrived from Sheffield (on his bike) to help me over the final hurdle tomorrow.
Also a big thank you to owners Stephen and Jan Redfern for the recommendation of a local pub (we had already decided to have only our second meal out) , and more importantly the 'free' night as a contribution to our sponsorship - Cheers great campsite. And we also managed a visit to Church on the trip - the Church Inn (great food guys).
Last song today U2 - Pride (In the Name of Love)
