Day 13 glasson dock to middlewich

A short summary for today until I find more time:
Met Mike from the ctc website in garstang today, great chatting with a fellow end to ender, especially one that has recognised us!
Had great breakfast whilst there.
One biggish climb towards Wigan area.
Felt faint and dizzy, probably from heat,had to rest drink and eat.
Long day today 80 miles.
I cycled head first into a 2 foot pipe I had not seen knocking me from my steed and onto my ass.
It hurt.
A lot.
Really a lot.
We cycled various canals and cycle paths, passing through preston warrington and Runcorn barely seeing any of them (good or bad).
Rachel sat in some nettles whilst attending to business.
Our designated campsite did not have toilets or showers so we had to cycle further to find one that did.
Our day was now 87.5 miles long.
We are knackered.
The campsite owner asked to donate the fee to charity,  thanks richard from yates house camping ground!
Tomorrow is shorter.
