Bradford route - Day 3 - Nottingham to Peterborough


Veggies looked after us well in Nottingham last night, and we learnt that 90% of rainforest clearing is to grow soya for animal feed. After stopping for a live phone interview on BCB Radio, we were nearly stampeded by cows! Then a hill and a demolished bridge snuck up on us, and by this point we'd had 2 punctures and were behind schedule! As we passed our half way point, we enjoyed some hot pasties by a christmas tree in Stamford, before getting a wee bit lost & suffering 2 more punctures. We were still more or less cheerful though, and met lots of friendly locals in Linconshire.

We got to Peterborough at 6pm, which wasn't too bad considering the delays we'd had. Kerry at the church cooked an amazing meal, which was followed by Green Drinks. Green Drinks is something they do here in Peterborough once a month, and on this occasion they tied it in with our visit.

We are once again touched by all the comments we've had on Twitter today.
