Day 31 Carlisle to Millom
Our day of disaster!
After we got to sort out the tax in Carlisle for Billy the feared bit happened. Billy broke down! Due to the excessive rain and huge dams in the roads, water must have gotten into the engine and it started to play up.
We spent the day sitting awaiting the news, and after waiting for hours we were told that the coils have been burned out and would have to be replaced for a fee of course.
Not only did Billy suffer but the wet got into my camera so no photo's too.
A miserable day waiting, and we toyed with the idea of me moving on and Tricia catch me up, but we're a team and not knowing the diagnosis for Billy didn't want to take a chance to be split up. So we just have to make the distance up on other days. (no rest day this week)
