Farking cold it was and despite the Garmin's periodic tantrums we managed most of the ride only lopping off 7 miles at the end so we didn't completely lose fingers/toes on the return journey.
We had sunshine for at least two brief periods of time which raised a cheer, navigated a 'stream' kind of, saw llamas, roadkill and a wind turbine and managed to find a pub that closed at 3pm and reopened at 6pm but we had enough time for drinks/snacks and to defrost before wending our way back to the station.
Whilst I didn't get my burger and guinness on this occasion I am happy to report I had the guinness later in the evening.
Would like to do the same route when the temp warms up and the Garmin stops having tantrums.
So. We did it!!
