Such kindness

So only 5 days left, my cycle today was cut short by 5 miles due to the weather become quite torrential & roads flooding.

I managed to find shelter in a small bus shelter out of the thunder/lightening and torrential rain, so Dan & Lorna picked me up as I continued in the rain but clearly the worse of the weather was still circling.

The last 2 days have been relatively straight forward till tonight but I stick more to main roads the further south we go. This has led to 2 noticeably things, one was amount of roadkill of all types of creatures I need to avoid & how many closed down pubs I pass.

Seeing more towns now and Worcester looked nice as I cycled through Center but am surprised at how little I remember the country side as I cycle. Maybe if weather was nicer I would look about more but as weather deteriates I just get head down & cycle.

What has been noticeable above all is how kind people can be. Some travelodge staff have cleaned our washing, put bikes in spare rooms for security, & booked us in early or today the staff at tourist information in Bewdley who charged my phone as spare charger was not working so was getting close to battery death 5 miles from reaching team.

So 5 days left and weather forecast for tomorrow better although Wednesday looking poor at minute as we travel out of Taunton into Devon.

In a way am glad struggling to fill my blog as means no health or other issue going on and my chances of reaching Lands End increase everyday that remains the same.
