Day 6 Half Way Update

We had a good nights sleep in Carlisle at the Warick House. The owners looked after us very well. At breakfast this morning we got a £10donation from some very nice people from Gloucester, thanks, make it all worthwhile. We had a slightly later departure tan lanned as Joe feel asleep afterI woke him up. He had a single room to himself, so I guess that comes with the territory!! We lef Carlisle at 10 am and headed for Morcambe, 67 ileso he souh. My right knee was screaming out for less activity, but as my left knee was shot, there was not much I could do other than pop big pink Ibrufen tblets and paracetomol, and think of better things. It was a hard day - eve a gentle incline in a low gear was very painful. We met Blind Dave - a man who has ran 7 marathons, in 7 days on 7 continents - what an achievement.Next year he is planning to run a marathon each day and cycle (on a tandam) for 120miles each day from John O Groats to Lands End - what a guy, an inspiration to us all. More ics tomorrow, its getting late now. We have 65 miles tmorrow to Northwich in Cheshire where we are staying at Nicky and Shirley's - looking forward to a hot soak in the tub as this B&B only has a shower!!
