AT 118 - 24th July [539.3]

 



Manchester - The Olympia Lodge


Easy 10 miles to carpark. Thumbed a lift into town. Was looking forward to a big fat greasy burger but the nearest was closed. Noticed a Cafe over the road and went over thinking they’ll have a burger. It was a Turkish cafe (restaurant) and had amazing food but expensive. We met the carpet store owner (Sean) and he offered us a lift to motel. Who cares when you come out of the woods. Headed to Laundry-mat to do clothes. Then resupply. It started to rain and Sean collected us and delivered us to lovely motel.
