Last day yay. So we woke and had breakfast around 7:30- 8 and set off at 8:30. It was very lightly raining so we set off and went straight to Hatfield Heath. We had a track again and this one was really muddy that it stopped our wheels and we had to get out the mud. We eventually came out the other end of the track.
I took off my norml shorts at one point because they felt too tight, thought you would want to know. We got to Hatfield Heath which was about 17 miles and met John and Will there as well as Mum at a cafe. We had tea and cakes and cycled to Andrew's house a former friend from my former school and only hung around for ten minutes there as John had to get back for one o'clock. Andrew showed me his pets he had lots. One horse, one pony, a hamster and a dog quite a lot I think.
We then cycled straight home I only recognised it once we got to Epping though the rain had stopped a long time ago. We said by to Will and John at the Green man roundabout and came home we washed the bikes when we got back and had lumch and I don't have to cycle on our Sunday cycle I don't want to cycle any time soon. Bye ;-) :-).

Day 10 part 2
I'm writing this on my dad's phone as our tablet is flat. Not a bad day at all exempt for the tracks at the start and end. QWe left the camp at 8:30 and went along a road and soon we were on it. It seemed fine at first just a bit of a grass track a car fairly regularly went through. Naturally our lucky got worse and we were walking through stinging nettles, we made it to a bridge and crossed over the river we had been walking by. We had been stung lots of times.
We soon were on road and went through Wicken Fen which is a parent internationally famous but dad says that about a lot of things. Our first stop was New Market (internationally famous) for horse racing. We had second breakfast and went to the horse racing museum which was really good ad there was a horse simulator and an 80 year old man called Alfie Westwood who was really fun and talkative who was the person who let us on the horse simulator. Alfie had won a few races as a Jokey when he was younger.
Next stop was at Anglesea Abbey a National Trust place given to them in 1966. It wasn't actually an abbey but it was a massive place with a water nill in the grounds which were big as well. We had lunch there and cycled on to Saffron Walden 20 miles away.
Half way after about 9 miles we found our second track. It was all grassy again but luckily it was all short and there were no stingers. The actual track though was really thin only about 2 inches wide the kind that make you think you'll fall over or slip and this went on for about five miles. It was bumpy and a bit up and downy horrible. Finally we got out and soon arrived at Little Walden which we cycled straight through and got to Saffron Walden. Mum found a Hotel and tommorow is the last day yay!😄 although we have had one day extra than we were supposed to😠oh well only 40 miles tommorow.🙌 and apparently we will be meeting some other ccyclists to go back with us half way. So bye.

SUPER FLAT DAY. Day 9 part 2
Today we cycled 60 miles from Boston to Ely and we clycled 200 feet up in total (extremely flat). I'm not sure what time we woke up, probably 7-8 and had pancakes for breakfast yay! We started at 9ish and set off.
Our first stop was, at the side of an A road we had been cycling along, at a little caravan where we had two burgers and a nice chat before continuing. We got to Wisbech next which was over half way and we went into a museum which was actually really good. It was small but had lots of interesting artifacts the one I found most interesting was the nose of a Saw Fish (not a sword fish) there were lots of stuffed animals and a big collection of minerals and such.
We had lunch and cycled all the way to Ely. There we visited the cathedral. It was very big and grand but we couldn't see all of it. We last cycled to our camp and met another cyclist. We just had a nice dinner in Ely and will probably go back to the camp eventually.

Roler coaster rides!!!! Day 8 part 2
Awsome day today, only 40 miles, we went to a Fantasy Island 3 miles from Skegness. We got up at 7 o'clock and had a sausage sandwich for breakfast and cereal and set out at 9. The roads were really nice and eventually got to the promenade which was okay except that there was sand which we kept slipigpgn in and etc. This wasn't for to long and we soon found Fantasy Island. Mum was in Skegness so she drove to us and we bought all day tickets.
The rides were really fun and my favourite was called The Millenniumwith three loops. It wasn't the most up and down and round and round ride but the other one made my head hit the side of the harness that held you in. The ride called Amazing Confusion was like an umbrella spinning around a horizontal axis that stayed upside down a lot but that was also really fun.
We had 3 full roast dinners for lunch and watched as a shower of rain went over. We left soon after and cycled straight to Boston. We're staying the house of a person who stayed in ours for a while its really nice and they're really welcoming we're about to have dinner soon I think and tommorow we'll be cycling to Ely.

Lovely day 7 part 2
Great day so far we have finished cycling had to do 52 miles from Hull to Mablethorpe. It's been great weather all day with the wind behind us and no rain, we only had 800 feet of climbing today. Most of our clothes were dry except our shoes and gloves but they soon dried as we cycled.
We woke at 7, had breakfast at 8 so a nice late start and cycled straight over the Humber Bridge and continued to Mablethorpe. We didn't stop at a cafe as we didn't see a single one! But we did stop for snacks a so on. We went quite fast but my legs ached a bit because we didn't have second breakfast but we got up to 22 miles per hour on the flats. We soon arivved at Mablethorpe and Mum found a Campsite. At 5 we will try and watch The Hitman which will be on.
Dad is just about to use the shower and says he will actually use soap this time! This is a short day which is nice and tommorow might only have to cycle 40 miles yay.
