Today the plan was to position our selves just after a lunch spot in the hope of scoring a lunch bag as a souvenier. After doing 2 loads of washing and taking down the annex we left half an hour after the 'must leave by' time. We had learnt from our mistakes yesterday but still managed to get a little caught when all the exits on a stretch of the motorway were all closed. We unfortunately missed the caravane but had a great spot and got set up as there was only 15 minutes until the riders were due to come through. Over an hour later we finally saw the breakaway and about 10 minutes later the rest of the pack came through.
Dad managed to score a bag which still had a power bar inside, so, after posing for a photo with it we shared the bar and he kindly gave it to Glen.
By the time we got back to our car and found a supermarket for lunch, it was 5.30 when we sat down to eat lunch. Glen did manange to find a good spot though, right by a castle and the river.
It was dark by the time we got back but luckily it was the first night that there wasn't any dew so the washing was nice and dry so I quickly got all our bags packed and ready to leave by 9am the following morning.
