RNLI Fundraising trip
Round the Coastline of Britain

Day 10 - 21st May 2005
Arnside to Flint (134 miles)
Visited 7 RNLI Stations

Today we were looking forward to having a shorter days riding after the marathon we had put in yesterday. The plan was to get down to stay with Bustupbiker at Flint in North Wales. As we wheeled the bikes out of the Arnside YHA carpark, we realised that Carcher had a screw embedded in the central tread of his rear tyre. Luckily he had sealant in his tyres, and it did an excellent job, as we only had to pump up his tyre once during the 7 hours of riding.

On the way down, we got to see

We met up with Fons on the way down to Lytham St Annesand he rode with down through to Manchester. When we reached Lytham St Annes RNLI station, they were taking their boat out on an exercise which gave us some great photos.

The coastline all the way from Cumbria down to North Wales seem very flat, with wide beaches and huge estuaries.
