Hurrah, Durham!
31 miles (50km)
A fairly average day today. The first few miles were a bit tough, but then eventually we turned out of the wind (HOORAH). We followed the moor, again, for a while...
and then got back to arable country. We also went through quite a nice forest!
We had something of a competition through the forest: James confessed he had a song from Bedknobs and Broomsticks in his head (no idea why). I met this with "Oh it's a lovely day when you're with Maaaaaaaaaaary...". James promptly saw that and raised with "Achey Breaky Heart." I daringly went with "Mmmm Bop" ... ultimately I think we were both losers.
And then, mid-afternoon, we arrived in Durham. We went to Evensong at the cathedral, which was just brilliant.
Had Mexican for dinner (I don't think it was a chain) and now just chilling in our room. Looking forward to seeing more of this delightful town tomorrow - especially if the weather stays as good as it was today, which was lovely.
Also, yesterday we passed the 500km mark.

Be grateful for the songs that are not yet in your heads... I have had various Wiggles medleys floating around for days now!
By the way, William met Jeff - shook his hand and everything! He's very proud!
"ultimately I think we were both losers"
that left ME with NO WHERE TO GO ... how unfair.
Kim, it was you I had in mind when I wrote that line, brother mine.
Justin, Wiggles totally makes you the biggest loser ;]
