Day Three of our Hartlepool to Hastings cycling trip and we’ve officially stopped pretending we know what we’re doing.
We started the day in a random stranger’s house (yes, really), then immediately got lost on farm roads in the middle of nowhere. But just when we thought we’d be sleeping in a hedge… a farmer let us crash in his warehouse. Again, HOW are we getting away with this?
🚴 In this episode:
Unexpected kindness from total strangers
Zero sense of direction
Another miracle bed for the night
And the usual tired legs, bad decisions & laughter

Honest to God right I swear mate this is honest to God [Music] Best laid plans of mice and men This is what we think Oh we’ll do so many miles and then we come across these sort of tracks Not riding these road bikes Yeah Cheers Google again 35 mile in We’re on our way to the village where we’re going to get something to cook on the barbecue and then we’re going to find somewhere to bed down By the time we do that we should be over 40 mile for the day Slush puppy lolly Slush puppy lolly If that’s not got sugar in there spirits I don’t know what Two hours later we decided to get some fish and chips on our way and we come across this lovely old couple mentioned that we’re on a charity ride and then we were wild camping He said he can’t offer us a house but he can offer us somewhere else to pitch We’re walking to his field with our fish and chips He pulls up alongside us in his Range Rover and says “Actually no We have an insulated shed It’s a warehouse It’s a warehouse There’s Range Rovers There’s there’s more Range Rovers and forklifts We had to go through a security gate and cameras to get in And he’s offered us a pot of warm tea Uh beers beers and I believe we’re getting bacon signs in the morning What is happening we’ve rode 40 mile We’re absolutely shattered Probably probably close to 45 I think by the time we come back down here That’s a good point Yeah 45 mile There you go It’s a decent It’s been really hard today cuz Google’s stood us dirty So we’ve had to go across farmer’s fields Mhm Like the only place we were ever going to end up tonight was a farm And this is just this is outstanding Boil I mean it’s insulated so you know the frost isn’t going to get to us Um yeah It’s just what we needed after another stressful day And thank you only us that will bring
