Disaster struck today. Yesterday I (Alistair Wooldrige) developed a knee injury which I continued cycling on for the 115 miles. Hoping it would have got better overnight, we set of in earnest for Kendal. After 20 miles of cycling on one leg because of the pain, I had to get our support crew to take me to the nearest hospital. I was diagnosed with an inflamed ligament just below and under my knee cap and was advised that if I continued it would most likely result in a permenant knee problem. We decided to camp overnight near the hospital area to give a chance to think. The result of this was that I was not prepared to cause myself a permenant knee problem. Matt continued to cycle to our substitute campsite in Dumfries.
