Dog days
 Evening, Tuesday 20th July
Phil eating his 1kg fruit cake

The weather is still causing a problem to Simon's journey. The low pressure has been followed by strong winds and lots of rain.

In the last few days the dog has taken to developing a loud snore and leaving the team unwelcome presents on their sleeping bags.

Suggest a name for the dog.

The next low pressure arrived today. It brought with it wind and lots of rain. This are seems incredibly remote with very few settlements.

No english sign posts means that van and cyclists have to rely on their compasses. Fortunatly they found a 1kg fruit cake to help them keep alert. Sleep has been reduced due to the dog developing a snore that is disproportionate to her size.
