Day 2 - St Albans to Barton-le-Clay, 19 miles

An appropriate roadsign!

Day 2 is 'in the bag'- less than 400 miles to go- hooray!  I did feel stronger today and all the muscles that hurt yesterday seemed to cope alright today - i just have to deal with a fresh lot of aching muscles tomorrow.  My neck is really sore and i am hobbling around like an old woman but nothing's broken.  The weather was a bit grim but i was kept going by Ben and Charlie by my side and plenty of singing. After stocking up on stodge in a cafe in Luton, we faced the rain and trudged up the A6.  My legs were very sore and I was hugely relieved to hit the last mile and to be met by my cousins in a lay by.  Roll on Day 3....
Pushing on through the drizzle

I chose the shortest route rather than the most scenic route...

  1. Hi Mingle

    We are sitting at our computer in amazement! You are a trooper! Helen wondered... if you haven't gone too far, would you like to pop in to Cambridge for a cup of char chez nous? (Only kidding!) Keep up the good work. Love Helen & Michael xxx
