DAY 4, Day to remember.

Captain Morgans Log: 7/4/2015.

Today, April 7th is the day our father Jim Greentree passed away 2 years ago at Hayward House hospice, the place we are now raising money for to help other people such as dad in their final days. 

It was a very cold start this morning, our bodies are really feeling the brunt of the past couple of day. Blisters, muscle pain etc. Pankillers are our new best friend. Yesterday we were truly knackered. We could hardly move, but like an engine we had to keep moving. The terrain was already changing to very long inclines and leg punishing declines!

The scenery is breathtaking. We headed past Kirkby Stephen, a very busy road and then through to Nateby where at the Black Bull, the owners very kindly made us a Coffee. The most bizarre sight of the day was seeing two sets of macaw parrots flying by! The weather was glorious as we walking up the very long Nateby path through the North Yorkshire dales to Keld. We stopped and sank an amazing omelette at a glamping and bunk house in Keld. 

From there was our final leg of the day to Fremington Dales bike centre. This was the first night of sleeping in a bed!! Before we got there we stopped for a diet coke at the Kings head in Gunnerside and carried along the River Swale toward Reeth and finally Fremington which were both hosts to the 2014 Tour De France! We finished to a wonderful meal at the Bridge Inn. Landlord was laughing that we could hardly move once we started relaxing! We raised a glass of Rum and Coke to our Dad. We felt he was very much with us today x
