We had checked this route out on the bikehike and noticed there was a huge hill in the way which we dubbed 'the hill of inconvenience' but to be honest it doesn't come close to any of the hills around in and out of Rothbury (England).This picture is on the other side coming down into the town of Ribecourt.
Again, the sun shone, no clouds to be seen and temperature climbing to 24c.
Had lunch in Ribercourt sitting outside a bar doing a bit of people watching for a change. (I think it's called getting into the French way of life?
Back on the bikes again and a detour to where the Armistice was signed in a Railway carriage in 1918. Unfortnately we were not allowed to take any photos of this - not sure why though?The picture to the left is where the railway carriage was sited during the WW1. A replica of the carriage sits in a museum to the right of this picture.
The road to this place seemed to just go on forever, for the first time my legs seemed to be running out of steam and I new we still had to double back for another 10 miles to our hotel. This part of the trip is where I felt I just didn't have anymore fuel left in the tank but sheer determination to seek that hotel bed pulled me through.
Again, a short video of Graeme zooming down the 'Hill of Inconvenience' towards the town of Ribecourt and onwards to Compiegne.
