Managed to get out on the bike late morning. 30 very warm miles and 2'950 feet in 2hs 3min taking in the villages of Flagg, Longnor, Hollinsclough (Chrome Hill looked lovely in the sunshine), Earl Sterndale, Taddington and home.

I didn't realise it was as hot as it was until I stopped when back at home and couldn't stop sweating!
