Day three. Through the Peak, Manchester and beyond...

Good day on and off road today. 115km with 1400m of climbing! 8 hrs..
Great views through the dark peak. Road blocks to climb through fences
to get through the Goyt Valley. Great off roading to Whaley Bridge
then a big climb up and over to Glossop. Manchester sucked especially
Ashton and Oldham, Rochdale was not much better.... The climb up the
South Pennines was long but views North well worth it. Burnley etc
sucked, but the youth hostel in Earby is pretty nice. Off to the pub
now for dinner with Wendy n Phil who live pretty close... Should make
the Lakes tomorrow. Pete xx
