A journey of delays. Tomorrow we start

Well we have finally made it to the start line after a rather tricky journey over.
Started with Gisborne but didn't matter as we overnighted with Phil and Kate.
Then a stressful ride to airport in an unreliable VW only making it to the airport with 4 hours to spare. Talk about cutting it fine.
2 hours late leaving Auckland which gave us 30 minutes to change terminals in Singapore and board. Fortunately this flight also left late due to them waiting for an engineer to strap a cello to a seat.
Some trepidation at Heathrow wondering if our bags made it so quite a relief to see them.
Train to Carlisle for 2 nights to recuperate. Unfortunately Maree not feeling great but hopefully improving.
Train to St Bees for a start tomorrow. Collected our stones which we carry from Irish sea to North Sea.
St Bees very pretty. Just hope the weather holds. 22km tomorrow with a camp in pub garden.Meer informatie
