LeJoG meets Jogle

Billed as an easier day, today we were travelling through Shropshire and into Cheshire. Very soon we started to see hundreds of cyclists going in the opposite directions. Turns out these were from the Deloitte Ride across Britains, http://www.rideacrossbritain.com/ and they are riding from John O Groats to Land's End (JOGLE). It certainly didn't look as much fun as our trip. I couldn't see any of these guys stopping for cakes and sampling beers and ciders from across the country!

I also passed through Tiverton, whose more famous namesake we went through about 250 miles before.

This was a nice fast ride and despite stopping at a cafe in Malpas with the worst service in the world I still got back to the campsite at Acton Bridge before 4pm. As we shared afternoon tea we all swapped stories of how long we had waited for the simplest of food orders.

One of the nicest things about Bike Adventures http://www.bikeadventures.co.uk/ is the afternoon tea and cakes when we finish. The cakes are homebaked by manager Kevin's mum.

The campsite was a bit crowded, fortunately there were no children on the site wanting to use the slide.
