An account of preparation for and undertaking of a cycle tour of Britain Feb.-June 2013. The 'Just Giving' page has now closed, very many thanks to those who donated I think about £400 was given. It had not been my prime motive but both the Hospice and I are very grateful for the money raised. Please keep reading the blog and commenting, I may try to turn it into a book if anyone might be interested.

Day 37 part 1
9.30 in the morning and I am back in Wetherspoons for breakfast (porridge, bacon roll and a large latte for less than a fiver, how do they do it?).
I am not alone however other than I appear to be the only one having a solid breakfast, it appears that opening a pub for breakfast brings in everyone in the area who has an alcohol problem, all my co-customers have a pint in front of them. I am grateful that I could not face a beer so early in the day, most are sitting alone and the place is rather quiet it feels sad and a little uncomfortable.
For the first time this trip I was able to pack up the tent dry and having slept well am ready for the trip home by rail. I love long train journeys and my only anxiety is they won't let me on withvall the baggage on the bike but I will deal with that if and when it arises.
The pics I put on yesterday were of Salisbury Cathedral at night, Winnall wetlands, Alresford fulling mill and Mottisfont Abbey.
I shall leave you with pics of a tree and a gardeners break.
Will trycto post again later.
p.s. More people have come in including a family with small children and there are now proper breakfasts being taken (judgemental or what!).
