A spot of wind

Jane has lost one her England flags. To be precise I saw it fall off under the wheels of a foreign lorry a couple of days ago (Hope that isn't an allegory for England's fate in the world cup.

Although the remaining flag looks a bit sad on it's own it still performs as a weather forecasting device. Today the flag was pointing towards Jane at any speed under 14mph which was good as it indicated a following wind.

Most riders do the End2End from South to North because of the prevailing wind. Luckily, we chose the other way as we have had the wind behind us most of the way. Our friends Rob and Jon were not so lucky today as they were riding into the teeth of the gale on their way from LE to JOG. We met them at the services by the Severn Bridge and had a chance to compare notes. After a couple of coffees we were a bit behind schedule but the following wind helped us arrive at our B&B on time

Special thanks to the couple at Gordano services who went to the cashpoint specially so they could give us a £20 donation for Macmillan. A record so far on this trip.
