So That's it.
We rode down the slipway and dipped our front wheels in the water. The tide was in, so we rode round on top of the wall to get to the beach. I found a stone to match the one I'd picke
d up in St. Bees, and we got an ice cream each.
Except that wasn't really it. We'd both been using the ride to raise money for building work to our churches. When we arrived, we were surprised to find that Martin's minister w
as there waiting to greet and congratulate us.
Shortly after, Alex and Tiny arrived with the kids and we had an enthusiastic reunion, lots of splashing in the sea and a bag of chips.
As we were heading back up that hill to the cars we met the guys from Kirkby S
tephen Youth Hostel just finishing their ride, looking as exhausted as we felt.
And so we went on to begin our holiday proper, camping on Humblebee Farm with our families, and the next generation began preparing for their own cycling adventure.
