Day 4
Uneventful day good night sleep under canvas even though it
was only 3 degrees centigrade according to John my 30 year old duck down still
going strong unfortunately the zip has gone at the feet area so some
maintenance is required to avoid cold feet syndrome. Weather is weird her
started over glorious sun shine and so pulled the lining out of my jacket and
pulled me summer gloves out but within an hour the sun had gone and it was down
to 10 degrees centigrade so cold weather kit on only for it to change to 21
degrees centigrade a couple of hours later making wardrobe planning a complete
night mare!
Driving along when all of sudden I saw a large church not to
impressive they are all over the place here but what made this special was that
it was huge totally dominating the horizon so what it just another church but
the amazing thing for me was that it was made of wood which blew my socks of as
I have never seen such a tall wooden construction (sad git need to get out more
:-))
Did my first off road excursion today as the GPS was set to
include dirt roads as these are very rare in Europe but they are all over the
place here. Going have to rethink the off road strategy because basically I am
a crap off road rider and just do not have the confidence or the skills to
handle anything to serious yet just not relaxed enough as soon as I hit the
dirt I automatically stiffen up am totally nervous till I hit the tarmac again
so maybe my original plan of going over the trans Labrador highway is not going
to happen as this is about 500km off road which could ruin my underwear
planning (another wardrobe issue)
It is 21.30 just getting dark and I sitting outside my tent
typing this probably going to be another early night as not much going on here
and it is getting cold fast.
