Had a decent ride down from dunwich saturday morning. Then sat around for 4 hours waiting for my mate to turn up.
Didnt leave hackney til pretty much 10pm and no matter what we did we couldn't get our average speed up.
Then I started falling asleep on the bike about half way and was forced to sleep in a hedge behind the burger van just before the fire station. Few pro plus and 15 minute power nap seemed to do the trick.
I was sweating when moving then frozen to the bone when stopped.
After what seemed like an eternity we arrived at the lake, had another nap and we rolled into the beach nearly 24 hours and 230 miles after I set off.
Chuffed with getting it finished as I'd have done anything to bail 30 miles into the return leg but I wont be doing that again (the double anyway). Just as I was leaving the beach saw @veganjoseph and a few others just leaving for their return route and was very glad I did the return part before not after.
