Day 7 - Sunday 26th September 2010

We have now travelled 124 miles from our starting point - Ediniburgh. We spent last night in a huge and elegant house near Morpeth, dripping with game and horses. Great hospitality and kindness from our hosts. We have stayed in houses, vast and luxurious and small and homely and none of us care much provided there is a cup of tea and a hot bath. One penalty of staying in so many houses for such a short time is where on earth the loo is in the middle of the night!

We are holding up physically surprisingly well. My whole body seems to send vague signals of surprise at yet another 20 mile yomp but apart from that no real probems. A tribute to training, compeed blister patches and the right clothes and shoes.

Although it's Sunday we propose to do another 10 miles to break the back of Monday's proposed 21 mile trip and to stop us seizing up.

Love

Tom and Jane
