Day One - 18.07.2010 The first day started of early as there was a long way to go. The weather was fine most of the way but there was rain around Pontefract. This required a stop to put waterproofs on. By Durham the weather had cleared and I could take the waterproofs off again. Pretty uneventful day. Total milage for the day - 385.7 miles.
