Not the SSW

Bellingham to Eldon

I had a cosy night and woke up to a damp but not raining day. I went to a cafe and had coffee and breakfast and a think. I decided that riding the sandstone way in the wet would not be fun so plotted a route on the sustains 68. I got back to the tent just as the rain started, managed to get everything packed up without it getting wet. Apart from the tent! I set off nice quiet roads but pouring down. Eventually got to a country inn where I took refuge. The people there were wonderful, put my coat in the boiler room and gave me fluffy towels. I ended up staying there all afternoon the rain got worse and in the end Chris came and rescued me. I have spent a nice few days with him and Sue.
