Wind!

Entering Northumberland.

Today was very, very windy. I split my tyre first thing today which set me back over an hour. Luckily I wasn't too far from town, just a long walk up a steep hill!

Coming into Northumberland took me over some high hills and amazing views! Then after Hexham the wind really picked up and it started raining. It was a long slog over exposed wild moorland.

With gusts of over 70 miles an hour which would throw me across the road, this was extremely tiring. Luckily I made it through and am now sat in a warm pub full up!

So far I have cycled over 400 miles, only 80 miles left to Edinburgh! Thanks for everybody's support, it's helped get me through some of the tougher sections!
