Weather rainy in the morning but not as bad as yesterday. Started clearing in the afternoon. Bicycled through quiet countryside. Flat throughout the day so relatively easy cycling. However, no shops of bars or cafes on the way, so no food for 7 hours – real endurance!! They were going through the heart of the battlefield of the Somme. Saw many more military cemeteries along the way.
They arrived at Albert at 3.30pm and swiftly dived into a bar to have a croquet monsieur and some other food.....
They then went out sightseeing! Saw the Lutyens Memorial to the dead of the Somme and the interesting museum of the trenches next door. Where do they get their energy from?
They sound very cheerful, particularly as the weather is starting to warm. It has been very cold as well as wet so far.
