3pm and we've stopped to eat our sandwiches in Hethersgill. James's kind gesture in letting me have the baguette whilst he negotiated 2 rolls for the same price paid off. Since when were baguettes 5 inches long? That's certainly not enough to replace the energy I've expended over the last 50 miles.
The only place in the village to rest was in the churchyard, we felt like pilgrims, it was very tranquil in the sunshine. James then abused the Lord's hospitality by urinating against the back of the church.
We saw a thunderstorm earlier over to the East and apart from the wind it's dragging in we have been lucky to escape it. There were two thunderclaps and I think James's churchyard disrepect was to blame. If the news reports 2 cyclists struck by lightning you will know the reason.
Got to try and fix James's gears now as he can't get into the lowest set and hills are a major struggle for him.

Llamas not bred for meat! Value is in the animal. U can sell fleece or do llama trekking. My cousin breeds alpacas - similar sort of thing really

Well done Tom, looking forward to seeing your excellent report tomorrow. You've worked really hard and I'm very proud of you . xxx
Thanks for the info Jude - have to admit they may have been Alpacas but my knowledge of South American mammals is limited.
Looking forward to seeing you Beak and Jackie - impressive stocking up, did you get that list from the CTC recommended cycling preparation section? Bananas the only thing missing. See you later, Cheers.
