Sheffield - London: Back in the house.
Patrick had a full set of classes today and I was due to leave around 1pm. We said our goodbyes. I repacked the bike. I gave myself enough time to allow for wrong turnings, then, following Patrick's directions down steep back streets, rode into the city-centre almost entirely on the brakes. I did take a wrong turning, but asked directions in time to stop myself diverting to Chesterfield.
From London's St. Pancras station, I followed my usual tourist route home [British Museum, Trafalgar Square, Buck House]. I made tea and mentally patted myself on the back for my first, however meagre, camping trip on the bike. Will I do it again? We'll see.
Today's ride: 19 km (12 miles)
Total: 747 km (464 miles)
