Day 40. Home. A time to catch up with things, sort out finances, washing and ironing (oh yes I am a man who can iron ....not that I enjoy it). I have arranged to have the bike serviced before I set off again and have ordered a new tent as although the old one served me well it is very small, is 10 years old, has needed patching and one of the poles has disintegrated. I have been quite tired today and have had a couple of sleeps during the day, I knew coming home to recharge would be a good idea. I have lost 7lbs in weight over the last 5 weeks despite eating lots so cycling must burn the calories very well.
