A quick update for all you generous folk here.

First day is done. I am absolutely shattered. I love cycling, but I don't have the build for it.

My mind wants to do these things and is very keen. Unfortunately, the body lags a bit

Anyway. 8.5 hours total cycle time but total time was closer to 12 hours (stops, getting lost etc etc)

I left the Premier Inn in Newcastle at 7:40 and got to the B&B at about 7.

Anyway. I can guarantee you that you all got your money's worth in my pain and discomfort

Thanks again

I'm good now thanks. Beer and food fixed me 😃

I do recall telling Bob to watch out because the birds were crapping everywhere. He couldn't believe it when he saw it. And then I said " the seagulls are at it too  :2funny:

You know what someone needs to set up? A 200 mile tank ride for charity. I would do that.

There's a "premier" something in Newcastle?!  Because there sure as hell ain't a premier-league quality footie squad...
