31st August Sanquar to Carlisle

The longest day of all mileage wise. We were still making up mileage from our navigation disaster, so ended up doing a soul destroying 95miles. The last couple of hours of which were along a pitch black never ending road, where we'd been helpfully told that some cyclists had been hit off their bikes recently. It was me who started running out of willpower here. It never seemed we were getting any closer. We got to our friendly digs just in time for a quick well deserved drinkie over the road.
