Day 42 (May 14) Abbotsbury to Portland

I knew yesterday was too good to be true; the weather today was horrid, blustery wind & rain. However the day was brightened up with the presence of Jayne. Jayne is a serious outdoors athlete having competed in the Iron Man in Hawaii. So Jayne and Melv had plenty of things in common to natter about cos Melv has competed in endless triathlons. He has also run loads of marathons including the London marathon 13 times. He once ran 80 miles in 12 hours - the nutter!



After the 21 miles we were glad to get back to the van out of the weather and met up with Jayne's husband Andrew. Big Andrew, 6 feet 5 inches, ex policeman. Imagine him with his helmet on - he must have been 7 feet 14 inches - few criminals would want to accost this giant. If they did Portland would be their next hotel.

    You've done a fantastic job getting this far and the weather looks like it's set to be good for the next few days at least. Good to see that the youngsters are trying to keep up with you too! Keep it going Terry & Sue
