So we have now made it to Lancaster! Yippee! The sun was so hot today.... despite sunblock I am still a bit burnt! Knee felt ok today and the ride was a really good 74 miles. 
We cycled through suburbia today.... Blackburn, Warrington, Bolton and across the Calder Vale. It was sad that there were so many rude and aggressive drivers around. It made cycling hazardous and quite scary at times. It is a shame people can be so rude. 
Anyway we had a fabulous ride across the Calder Vale and enjoyed some really hot weather along with the steep hills!!! Sleep well all... just had a lovely pizza. I've got ice on my bad knee then I'm off to bed. We go to Penrith tomorrow..... getting nearer to the Scottish border..... 😄
