Quite a few ups and downs today, along the road.  The area of Alum Scar is very little visited, even to this day.  Tucked away in a quiet area of unmarked countryside, it is a little gem.  Look on your maps for Samlesbury Bottoms and follow the East direction.  Our hero was very fortunate to have a volunteer repair his puncture whilst he himself took tea.  Nice work if you can get it.

I must say that all of Charlie’s travels are peppered with punctures, which just goes to show that today’s tyres are much better at keeping out unwanted visitors.
