29th Apr Cereals, toast and cooked breakfast  done very kindly by Viv & Chris which was a good start to the day, along with some happy faces. Ben left us at 7:15 after helping With the ponies in the morning. Trish and John took Basil to 'green farm-shap' for a well earned rest and grass...a ponies best friend! Angie, Abi & Felix set of for the first 12 miles, then Trish drove Archie with Angie back stepping for a further 12 miles through carlisle, he was great! Angie set off with Abi & William for the final 12 miles. Angie was described as a brick for giving Trish & Abi a break, John (Angie's husband) said...'was that spelt with a B or a P?' we weren't expecting that one...ahaha. John took Pip and H to the train station so we lost 2 from our pit crew ! Thank you for your help and see you when you come back up Pip. We arrived at John and Helen's (a friend of Trish and Karl's and they have been great! Provided us all with beds, food, drink, warmth and great company ! They made us  a lovely lasagne with beverages along side it ! :)
