19.00 - Well today has been the roughest day yet. They have had rain lashing down on them for most of the day and it got so bad that they had to finish the day earlier(5pm) than usual otherwise they would have been dealing with hypothermia. They still managed to do 30 miles. They took refuge in a pub in Laneham called The Ferry Boat Inn and would like to express their gratitude to the landlady there who was very hospitable. Lets hope that after some rest they are able to plod on tomorrow.
