Day 2

' Only 45 miles tomorrow ' That was what we thought and infact we only did 45 miles ish but it involved cycling up what felt like Everest before lunch Stopped for coffee in a pub called The Catt - really nice landlady called Debbie She was closed but made us coffe and gave us a packet biscuits £5 the lot Had lunch in Waitrose cafe before starting off along The Cuckoo Trail - a lovely disused rain way line Saw some Alpacas out for a walk ! We then took an uphill track ' which can be a bit muddy in wet weather ' Colin ended up on his back in a holly bush and Tim and Steve up to their axles in mud! We then hit some tarmac only to find Colin had a puncture ! the Holly bush may have had something to do with it Got going again only to find ourselves cycling uphill again across a field full of sheep Eventually hit Seaford and after getting help from a couple of taxi drivers found The White Lion and had some well earned beers A much harder day than the first despite the shorter distance Tomorrow we're off to France Early start to catch the Newhaven Dieppe ferry
