WEDNESDAY,15TH MAY and they are on their way leaving Berkhamsted at 7 18 on a dank, cold, cheerless day BUT these two are tough and will take whatever life throws at them. As mentioned before Pam and Diane are cycling from Berkhamsted to Slough and back along the Grand Union Canal to raise money for TEAMS and in particular a school in Gulu Uganda
Why not take a look at the TEAMS website and Pam's Blog from her recent trip
with Diane to Uganda.

An hour after starting they are at bridge 153 (nr Sainsburys at Apsley) and going well.

 By 9.15 they are on the outskirts of Watford near Lady Capel Bridge and about to enter Cassiobury Park aiming for the Coy Carp at Harefield by 10 30.
The sun occasionally shows its face but is a tad shy today. Shy! It should be hanging its head in shame for not shining on the two valiant fundraisers.
Good progress till they reach the Slough Arm where the towpath is closed for maintenance and no diversions are marked so over an hour and at least 8 miles added to the trip. A bowl of soup at Mark and Diane's in Slough and heading back accompanied by Mark on the return leg,by a different route to pick up the Grand Union mainline at Cowley.Pam has a bit of a tumble but nothing was going to stop her now.
The weather is improving greatly but the strength is waning and after a womanful effort the weary threesome arrive back in Berkhamsted about 9 30 pm.Too tired even to visit the Lamb! Over 12 hours since they left and at least eleven of them in the saddle. A brilliant and brave effort.

AND WELL WORTH SPONSORING IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE YET!

A hearty meal a bath and a good nights sleep complete the day.

Well done, Pam, Diane and M
