Nantwich to Garstang.
We woke to the dreaded sound of rain beating down on the windows. And heavy rain too!
Oh well, no way around it, get the wet weather gear on and lets get stuck in...
Lunches packed and bottles stowed, we headed out into the weather.
Riding in the rain is a great experience; the rain releases the smells of the road/countryside and gives the senses a different element to deal with. Some of the farms are quite 'ripe' but we soon got used to that. Roses in bloom smell amazing too.
More canal paths today, something we are not enjoying as they are constantly battering our bikes and bodies with vibration, and they are quite slow too, not to mention adding in miles to the day.
We arrived in Garstang late in the day, battered and weary, and in need of food, shower and sleep.
We got all three from our Warmshowers host, Dave, who then offered us route variations to shave off some miles and hills from tomorrow's journey.
127km today.
