I walked into High Bentham early on Thursday morning to get a newspaper (no radio signal again…). It was quite a walk, much further than I’d remembered from the previous day, but after about 40 minutes I got back to the van, only to find that a few minutes after I’d left a van had been round offering milk and newspapers for sale.

After a leisurely breakfast, we decided that we really should make use of the bikes which we’d been lugging round everywhere (and which we’d only used briefly, in Cornwall and Glastonbury). The site owner suggested a route and we set off. I suspect that the site owner had never attempted the route on a bike, as it started off with a very long, steep hill which we ended up walking part of. The sunny day made it quite hard going, but it was still a pleasant route. After cycling round, up and and down lots of hills we made it back to High Bentham and retired to the local pub for a couple of beers, before going a bit of grocery shopping and whizzing down the hill back to the site for a good night’s rest.
