So far I had enjoyed sub-zero temperatures, snow, sleet, fog, high wind and heavy rain as not a little sunshine. Unremarkable for late winter
in the north of England. Indeed I’d gained much satisfaction from cycling in all
conditions. A Gore-Tex outer layer and breathable merino wool bottom layer allowed
me to take it all in my stride.
On my seventh day the
weather gave me pause for thought.
BBC Breakfast reported
heavy snow fall across the country causing severe disruption. Where were they
reporting from? Mold, north Wales. Exactly the direction I was heading.
