Woke to horrible wet weather, it had to happen sometime, so on with all rain
great. Its going to be a Long ride today to Southport though we do have the
good fortune tonight of kindly being put up by a couple of bikers who have been
supporting us.
First however is about an hour’s ride to Dumfries to finish of Day 6 and
start Day 7. Also meeting a chap, James Docherty, who has a healthy check from some fund raising
for us. Meeting him at a garden centre just next to the Peter Pan statue that
was unveiled by Joanna Lumley, we were informed has a house nearby.
James rode for a while with us on his Triumph Tiger which was very
similar to mine and I enjoyed keeping pace with him as he knew these roads intimately
and new every corner.
Today was long and wet and when it came to Morecombe it took its toile and
Paul `Scouse` had had enough and went his separate way, bye mate best of luck.
We pushed onto Southport and arrived at 8pm, 2 hours later and 12 hours of
riding over.
Chris and his lady Ang, who kindly put us up for the night and did a wonderfull lunch for us. Ang has an autistic son much like Paul's.
