Day 9 was miserable! Or the morning was at any rate. The first real rain of the trip started 10 mins after kick off and in fact it was maybe not strictly rain. it was the type of spray drizzle we have in scotland that soaks you within seconds. Good job i had the pocket rocket to call upon. But not before my windproof top was drenched. Waterproof overshoes deployed as well. This was a morning to just get through. It often happens when you are getting rained on (hence the well known saying!) and a 3 mile map misread didnt help. I was having an inner debate with myself - this is awful, stop at lunch - tomorrow might be no better lets keep going. Resolution of this debate was thankfully not required as the rain stopped just before lunch in Canno n Beach.
During lunch i saw a humming bird and while saddling up to set off i was kindly given some tips for california...
Yuk! I checked your weather forecast, and it looks good for tomorrow. Only 20% chance of rain.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand about the phone. Practiced yesterday for when I have only the phone with me on holiday. Will also have your problem of finding the free wi-fi, sorry, wee-fee! Inherited from spending 4 years in Aberdeen.....
