Day 5 - Orton - Kirkby Stephen 21km (127km total) Martin & Mick; Orton - Keld 40km (146km total) Eddie & Tony
Well, it's happened. 2 of us have failed the Coast to Coast unaided.
11 miles before lunch took it out of me, and Martin's feet were very sore, so we got a taxi to Keld, thus missing out on another 11 miles.
I feel disappointed, but there was no way I could do two 22+ mile days back to back and then do over 50 miles during the next 2 days. Hopefully the rest this afternoon will be enough to psyche me up for the next 2 yomps. I'm sat in front of an open fire, washed and dry, looking forward to dinner and I feel so much better than I did last night. HURRAH!

I am very very tired. Perhaps I should have joined M&M in the taxi! The climb out of Kirkby Stephen was most unwelcome. The 9 standards was a complete whiteout with a terrific wind. The route down was boggy, but way-marked. The weather has certainly caught up with us today. I even wore my legs! M&M felt so sorry (or guilty?) for Tony and myself that they even made our neds... niiice.
