11.20 - Arrive Marlborough

Marlborough - toilets - aaaahhhh!!

Have done 35 miles - it's taken over four hours, which is worrying.

Have cup of tea, grab some water and yes, another banana.

Have stopped feeling sick now - riding on a bowl of luxury muesli and an orange juice wasn't smart!

Family has caught up.

Little one has a touch of the am drams and grabs my leg, shouting 'don't leave me mummy!'

The next watering hole no longer exists, so am looking forward to reaching Hungerford which is pretty and is where my parents live.

Meet young girl in loos - she is cycling with her dad and finding it as tough as I am.

Reassure her that Hungerford's just a short way, but have heard some of the veterans saying that the Savernake stretch is the toughest.

Have taken far too long at this stop and am v. concerned about time, but at least have family with me now.
