Arriving in the U.K

Whilst Jane contemplates the muddy waters,Jon fields the incoming calls. Gary is trying not to think of 'work tomorrow'.

Nic and Jon arrive on British soil for the first time in 15 months. Can you detect a hint of anxiety?Is November a wise time to return.?Or is it just fear of another days riding trying to keep up with Jane and Gary?And whats all this driving on the left hand side business?

Gary can get down into this 'photographers squat,'but at his age it is no easy matter getting up again.Eventually we were able to proceed.

Luckily the beautiful countryside of the north pennines made us glad to be here.

Cycling up towards Alston after our last night of camping ...[we had an early night after a social afternoon session at The Elks Head with some family and friends,just to ease us gently into the culture of this strange country ].
Nic is glued to the left hand side of the road.!
