Day 8
Matlock to Nottingham
You hope and you pray, you think maybe just this time, but then it's prime Gareth all over again. Ouch, that hurt, the day and the result.
40 KM, smoked. Stronger, finally. Thanks team, thanks Ali for being a faithful Baldrick today and Dawn and Trevor for being larder and drinks cabinet. And a nod to the little fascist hotel manager who channeled his inner 1958 Jesuit headmaster and warned me for my behaviour during the game. Twice.
Four years to wait, hopefully they'll be off the endangered list by then.
200 miles completed, 800 remaining .... How far did you walk today?
