Most of the day was fairly quiet. The only tricky part was navigating some of the bigger towns, although some of the cycleways were nice and scenic (see photo). However, on a couple of occasions we followed the now infamous NCN and on both occasions found ourselves on bridleways thick with mud and definately not suitable for bikes. We have decided to avoid anything less than a proper tarmaced road as it impacts our mileage heavily,improvising routes seperate from NCN. Having eventually reached our B&B Steve pointed out the his rear brake cable was fraying. Tomorrow morning we have to try and find a new cable and repair it. There was a bike shop around the corner from the B&B but being a bank holiday it was shut (check out the bike parts at each end of the sign in the photo). Having failed to get a part tonight we consoled ourselves with pizza in the nice B&B garden (see photo).
