Fastest/shortest day today from Bridges (Long Mynd) to Chester. The first few miles were up and down (although the 'big hill' failed to materialise?) then it was lots of downhill/flat miles.

Managed to add about 3 miles on by going in the wrong direction but all in all we've made very few directional errors - thanks to Damian and his bar bag reading. I suppose a little bit of getting lost/confusion is to be expected, and at least we haven't lost anything else although Ian rescued my sunglasses twice (in one day) and left his wallet in a pub. Not like the guys who stopped us on the road between Lands End and Penzance who had managed to lose a bike from the back of their car!

We arrived in Chester early for us - around 3pm in glorious sunshine. We're staying at a backpackers place just a few doors down from The Edge - so we popped in and had a quick look round on our way into town.

Feels quite strange being so close to home - doesn't feel like quite so much of an adventure now, especially when tomorrow's ride is basically to get home.

Still trying to work out our route back to Lancaster tomorrow. Expecting it to be around 75-80 miles - including our 4th and final ferry trip. Forecast looks great for tomorrow - just a pity it wasn't like this back in Cornwall so we could have gone for a dip.

Think once we're back home we will have more time to reflect on the trip, contemplate what we might have done differently and share any tips.

Anyway hasta manana. Lancaster aqui venimos.
