Day 3, Sidmouth to Bournemouth - 85 miles


Cumulative 225 miles. Bum rating Miles - 3 Paul - 4 (Paul going in the right direction).

Great sunny day. above photo is steepest hill so far into Abbotsbury in Dorset. We were both very happy to leave Devon and it's succession of long, steep hills.

Above Paul taking the views in over the Dorset cliffs with Portland Bill in the background.

Dave "the Horse" joins us outside Weymouth for the last 40 miles - we have to say the easiest 40 miles ! To be fair to him he acted, as the French call it, as the "le Domestique". In other words he sat at the front and took the wind - even though to look at him the wind should just rush past him.

Us going over the Sandbanks ferry across Poole Harbour. Not my hat by the way.

Dave's 30 year old school bike last 39.5 miles and then decides, on the smoothest surface on Bournemouth prom, to get a puncture. Paul and I tempted to make him walk home but took pity on him.
