Yesterday

We left the Travelodge at about 9:30 am in rain to tackle the hills of Lancashire and North Yorkshire. It was a wet morning and on the occasions when we had to follow A roads were were soaked by the spray from lorries passing us. One lorry owned by Nidd came very close to us on the A59 - we 'blessed' him and moved on.
When we reached Clitheroe tha sun broke through and we lunched in sunshine on the terrace of Piccolos, a very nice Italian restaurant.
From there we headed uphill once more and climbed to an area that gave us a terrific view of Pendle Hill behind us. We reached the hills of North Yorkshire in the late afternoon and had fabulous views of the peaks around Ingleton.
Unfortunately, Pete and I both had punctures which delayed us and as we slowed with increasing tiredness we didnt arrive at our B&B near Ingleton until about 8pm. A gritty day overall but we were rewarded with those lovely views and comfortable beds.
