Karl - Day 49-58/365 Cycle to Durham and other stuff

Fiona (my OH) and I cycled from Edinburgh to Durham over the Jubilee weekend leaving Saturday 4pm and arriving in Durham on Monday at 6pm. We stayed overnight in Broadmeadows YHA, Longtown and then Durham. Over the 3 days we covered just over 300km of cycling with 3200m of ascent. We managed to stay off nearly all the A roads and therefore had very little traffic. On the way we found lots of nice coffee shops for elevenses, lunch or afternoon tea and 1 was for breakfast. Weather was kind to us too. Fantastic ride. We packed very light and the only extra was some running kit for me to carry on with the challenge. Some pictures of the trip below.
Quick run down of the last 10 days.
