Day 3

We had a good night sleep and Judi gave us cereals and freshly made bread for breakfast before we set off again about 9:00 for Wooler. We filled up with petrol in the village before heading up the A1m. We were planning to take a more scenic route further east, but decided to get to Judith's as quickly as we could. The roads were clear all the way, and the weather was slightly cooler than yesterday and a hazy sunshine so it was actually a really pleasant ride. We stopped again at Washington services to fill up again (97 miles, 7.4l @ 156.9p and I thought yesterday was expensive!)

It was just another hour to Wooler, the last 40 minutes or so along gorgeous wide open roads, unfortunately following a car doing 55 mph everytime it came to a bend or a hill until there was somewhere to overtake when it sped back up to 60!

We arrived in Wooler at 12:00 after a short day's riding of 140 miles.Read more
