We went back to The Brampton Valley Way today - planning to start at a different spot and do that elusive 50 miles but as ever, time was against us...
Well, to be fair it wasn't just time... last night there was A LOT of rain and our great plan of starting off at Pitsford Water and then cycling back to Northampton before heading off to Market Harborough was doomed before we started... We managed to go a few miles down the muddy tracks but when we saw this we knew we weren't going to make it...
Undetered, we headed back towards Market Harborough wearing our new very warm balaclavas and yellow Bloc googles - we looked a treat!!!!
In the end we did about 41 miles - and were as muddy as can be... here's a little shot of our feet and splattered legs when we got back (the windstoppers worked a treat against the wind but were not as good against the rain - once again we had soggy feet)...
Maybe we'll finally do our 50 tomorrow...
