Day 7 North Lancs

68 miles, first  over Winter Hill/Rivington Pike. Then up between Preston  and Blackburn, to Whalley and Slaidburn for lunch followed by another glorious  climb  over Catlow Fell to Bentham. The route contained about a dozen cattle grids, my favourite obstacle. Arrived in Kirkby last again and knackered again. We've lost one to a broken  arm and with her partner  dropping out we are seven riders and, temporarily, 3 escorts, but we are half way there. Up to the borders tomorrow.
