Day 3 Pateley Bridge - Blackpool

Before I start a quick request from Mark;

Hello to Lucy & Ella love from Daddy

A very tough start today, a lovely hotel we stayed in at Pateley Bridge, Harefield Hall Hotel,top quality food, just took so long to prepare we were a little late setting off.

We were all a little nervous setting off knowing that the first 4 miles were just a hill, Greenhow Hill so hearts were racing before we were on the bikes. We set off and did the hill in 30 mins approx. The morning continued with lots of big hills up and down like rollercoasters. We got to Grassington were we met by Scunthorpe United flags being waved.... Steve Grout's parents were there for the weekend. We continued to Cracoe were the rain started and an accident occured, Jamie came off smacking his hands knee and crash hat on the ground and breaking his brake/gear lever, he is ok just a little bruised.

My garmin played up again so no data to upload, we did 75 miles, over 6 hours in hilly terrain.

I haven't got any pictures yet for today, I will catch up with Sarah tommorow and put some pictures on at dinner time.

We arrived quite late tonight, it was nearly seven when we got into the hotel so you can appreciate my brief post tonight as it is now gone midnight.
