Heckington to Market Rasen

First day was a solid 95km from Mekton Mowbray to Bailey Bridge in the Holland Fen. Tail wind nearly all the way. Heckington has an unique 8 sail windmill with a brewery, bakery and cafe. Only the brewery was open. A late swim session at the local lido cooled us down nicely but then a 20km das across the fens to find our campsite! Very lovely couple (Joy and ?) welcomed us to a basic site but still had lots of little home comforts such as flushing toilet, washing up sink with hot water, kettle and microwave as well as comfy sofas. Early to rise the next day to try and avoid the rain. Couple of hours in the rain got us to the Aviation museum at East Kirkby, the home of the Lancaster bomber. When they wheeled it out ant started it up it nearly blew our socks off!Read more
