Week One: Day Six

By the time I reached the Spinnaker (pictured) in Portsmouth, the bulk of the miles for the day had been covered.

I didn't know it at the time I originally penned the blog but the best of the weather for the whole six weeks was behind me. A wet start today (I was drenched by the time I reached Worthing) but had dried out by Bognor Regis. It was probably because things were going so well that I became a little complacent and lost concentration; this led to my first fall of the trip just outside Chichester. But I was patched up in Portsmouth and safely made all the connections to and from the Isle of Wight (where it is Festival Weekend so it was heaving).

Pre-tour estimated miles: 60
Actual miles: 69
