possible stop at Uclan , toilets /coffee

please make sure you have means of inflating tyres and carry a couple of spare innertubes just in case ! Also its wise to give your bike a check over the night before . Suitable clothing for the conditions ,please do not turn out if you are feeling unwell or not upto the distance or paths advertised .
