This is where I’ve been for the last week. Peveny or Pevency Bay. Beautiful little part of East Sussex. Really enjoyed it here. So peaceful. But now it’s time to move on. And I’m going today to Chicha. It’s about 120 kilometers. 123. And I don’t think there’s that many trails to be honest. I think there’s only four maybe, but one of them’s quite long. I think it’s called Old Coach Road and it’s a long chalk road. Weather today is a bit cloudy. Yeah. Hopefully it’ll dry up during the day. It’s been raining overnight. Let’s get on the move. Oh, got some roots. Yeah, a little bit wet through here. Not too bad. I think this is quite long, this little route. It’s called the old coach. Old coach lane, something like that. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Be okay. Yeah, I’m okay. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much. Yeah, this is greasy. This chalky chalky stuff is greasy. So, basically, it’s coming up here and I tried to get back up here. That’s stupid. And it’s very greasy and I just lost traction went over. Oh well, it happens. This time not hurt. Chill out for a bit. Enjoy the countryside. So what happens when the chalk gets wet? It gets greasy. And it’s uh very slippery. Yeah. And I was in a rut and I wanted to get out and that’s obviously a stupid mistake on its own. Just stay in the rat. No problem. You having a nice day? Not too bad. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where have you come from? Uh Peveny today. Oh, really? Yeah. All along the coast, South Dale’s coast road. Yeah. Wow. Nice. Yeah. I’m traveling up I I travel around the country and I work I work during the week at where I end up. So Oh, really? Yeah. How amazing. What do you do? Uh I’m in it. So, yeah. So, you got your computer in your back. Yeah. It’s all there. Yeah. How amazing. So, I’m heading I’d like to do it with him around the country eventually. There is a woman actually who does it. Um, she’s in she’s also quite, you know, a bit older and she’s she takes off each summer and she just goes with a horse. She got a horse and a dog and they go and they just stay in different places and people let them, you know, graze. Yeah, that’s amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, where are you off to now then? So, I’m on my way to Chicha for this week. Yeah. Amazing. And then I I live uh my well my family lives in Surrey. Okay. So I’ll head back there after that. And then probably head up north after that. We can do what we were saying. Yeah. I might see you. Hey should definitely do that. Yeah. I might see you out there on somewhere. Yeah. Have a good Yeah, you too. Bye-bye. All right. Well, then looks like that was it. Is that fly inside my goggles? I think it is. Yeah, I’ve definitely got a fly inside my goggles. [Music] Oh, that’s steep. Steep at the end. I’ve got the fear a little bit definitely cuz I fell off or came off and now I’m like yeah I need to get over that get confidence back. Definitely feel it. I mean, a lot not along here. This is practically tarmac, but I’ve definitely got the fear like that little appeal just then, which wasn’t even bad. I’m kind of worried about the slipperiness. Yeah. So, I need to get over that a little bit. So, I stopped for lunch. A lot of today has been road. There’s even been like one really long quite boring A- road. Not a nice windy A- road, but quite a boring one. But it looks like I’ve got two lanes left today. Two two trails left. It looks like it’s probably it’s just going to turn right up here and it’s going to come down this valley. So, that one’s go going down. And then the other one must be over there somewhere going up the hill. I think it’s called locally it’s called Dog Kennel Lane. Don’t know why that is. Yeah, I think that’s the last two today. So that would be five in total I’ve had. Apparently this dog kennel lane according to to the TRF maps is is an uphill chalky challenge and then then it gets uh graded after that. Not quite sure I know what graded means. Still got the fear a bit from that from falling off. We’ll see how I deal with it. But you know, I just have to go with it. If I don’t like it, just slow down, calm down. Trouble with hills is you’ve got to keep the momentum. It’s quite rotted. It’s quite steep. It’s steeper than I thought. It’s not too bad, though. Cold Harbor. Bloody hell. Steep, isn’t it? Yeah, that’s quite serious. I can always turn around, right? I think I might give this one a miss. That’s pretty steep and pretty ratted. I mean, could do it up here. Depends how far it keeps going. Where does it go? Is that there? There’s bloody tree in the way. Anyway, it looks like fun, but it looks like one to do with riding buddies. I’m just not I’m not in the right frame today. I think any other time I probably would have been okay with it, but I just don’t feel that I’m in the right right mood for it today. So in that case, where am I going?
