Comments: Pooh doesn’t want to get up!  Finally, we get out though. It’s eerie when the fog rolls across the fields and the road.  We take a break in Amberly and have lunch in the park in Kincardine.  It’s quite cold there because of the fog.  Mark stops in Tiverton but Pooh POR [presses on regardless], a little too rigorously at it turns out, but Mark finally catches up.  A break from the rush hour traffic at the Atom Inn and then we pedal the last few kilometers to MacGregor.  Interesting marl bog and a secluded campsite.
