Day 7

<p>&lt;p&gt;Poured with rain after 5 mins as i was struggling out of preston, but after that things improved to the extent that it was the best day so far. 90 miles, 9500 ft in 8 hours 30 mins cycling. Had to walk for the first time after my short cut turned out to be a rock strewn slope. Lakes were very beautiful some lovely bits along deserted minor roads that had been recently resurfaced, no government spending cuts in evidence here.
So over half way and feeling not too bad.
