By the time we had cooked dinner and got in the tent the rain had really set in. When we awoke in the morning things had not changed, it was 10degC and the rain was coming down. Sure it wasnt a tropical downpour but it was still a steady rain that any farmer would be dancing over but all cycle tourists would lament.
Despite the dreary start to the day we made our breakfast and a cup of tea and hoped for the best. We packed the sodden tent and mounted up. We rode in the rain and despite our investment in Goretex products cycling in the rain is still depressing and it wasnt long into our journey we both agreed that a day spent cold and wet should be swapped for a day in a B&B so after 30km that's what we did.
We found a lovely Cafe/Pension run by a very nice couple who must have felt sorry for the two drowned rats that walked through the door and after putting our bikes in a locked shed showed us a room, fed us a huge meal and then gave us free Internet.
All forecasts show that tomorrow will be about 20degC. This is hard to believe given today's 10deg but we live in hope.
