Duddington, Northants to Loughborough, Leicestershire (via Rutland)
41.46 miles (1106.28 miles cumulatively)
Yep, that's right. I kid you not. I was on a cycle path approaching Melton Mowbray when I had to stop to open a gate and on the gate was a sign and on the sign read:
Please be aware. The sheep in this field are first time mothers and are learning how to rear their lambs. Please do not make any sudden movements or noises as this is likely to frighten both mother and child and will make them more likely to become prey for the foxes.
Wow! I have never seen a sign (and let's be honest, am never likely to again) quite like that before! The nanny state has spread to sheep.
Obviously I went along the path clapping, dancing and singing to get the 'ickle lambs ready for the harsh realities of real life and then I stopped at the end, pleased with my work, for a munch on a double decker! What a 20 minute period that was today!
In all seriousness though, I really have very little to report today about the cycle. Rather than bore you with a second by second account I thought maybe I'd just leave it up to the Gods of Fate to see whether I have a more bloggable day tomorrow! Don't get me wrong, when Cycle England goes like it did today, and is one pedal after another, that makes James a very happy boy. I can't even be sarcastic! What has the world come to?!
