Good progress made this morning, very few hills and seemed like a lot of descent.
Big problem is James's legs which are causing him severe problems. Admirably he keeps suggesting I push on alone as he can't keep up his usual cracking pace. We're in it together though so I'm sticking around. He's very kindly just compared me to a piece of dog mess that you can't shake off your shoe. Cheers James.
Weathers been good but just started to rain so we've stopped for sarnies and a pint to shelter.
We've made it to Frodsham for a lunch break at the Aston Arms. Being polite we stood outside to eat the butties but the landlord insisted we come inside - fine fellow indeed.
Setting off now so only about 1 hour to go before the sanctuary of home and see the family.
Big shout to Helen for supporting me through this and taking on the substantial task of looking after the kids, Charlie and the house for a fortnight. Thank you.

nearly 8 days cycling done, still on track and only 7 to go (only!!)-fantastic effort from both of you, keep going
It was superb seeing our boys and a tremendous time was had by all of us- a real pleasure to see them and they looked great considering all they've been through. If only this rain would go to Spain, or somewhere like that. We're now recovering from last night and returning the house back to normaility. Hope they get to Ish and Helen's ok today.
just caught up with your blog. Chris wne tup to the shops this afternoon and casually mentioned that he saw Ian cycling past with another man behind!
Good luck with the remainder of the ride. I'll drop in on the blog now I know it's there,
regards
Brendan
