Day #2: Llandudno to Holyhead
A spot of bad luck
You could call this one.
- My phone dropped on the road TWICE and smashed the screen. Luckily, a) I didn’t run it over b) it has a screen cover and couldn’t shatter properly.
- My watch didn’t record today’s journey and it’s only half a trip on Strava. Travelled 5 hours and recorded 3. Whether I touched something on my watch, I don’t know.
- I got a puncture following NCR (national cycle route) 5 through woods coming down into Holyhead. Only about 2.5 miles from base but had to pump the tyre up 3 times before I could make it into town.
- When I got to the hotel, my bicycle lock ceased and I had to saw it off the pannier with my muti-tool.
I’m not a massively superstitious person, but this was a little too much. For one day.
I put it down to my unlucky T-shirt.
