Friday 6th September As we went to bed last night it threaten to rain, so we checked all the bags made sure everything was water tight,we had a few drops before we got into the tent. Luckily nothing in the night, woke up to a dull cold morning but no rain. Quick bowl of porridge and coffee for breakfast, then on the bikes for 8, knowing the first 8 miles was uphill then a nice descent into a small town for lunch, then another 30 odd miles of steady climbing , ending the day in a hotel, nothing could go wrong.
The first climb was fine, with fresh legs we soon hit the summit, then the nice feeling of a 30 mile descent, it was really good. Though Linney did get a puncture about 7 miles away from the lunch stop, all sorted no problem. We rolled into a tourist stop,first some Tawainian ladies stopped us as we ordered lunch, had a quick photo shoot with them. After lunch it all got a bit chaotic a bus load of tourist from Shanghai turned up,it was one picture after another, though we did manage to get a contact number for an English speaking guy in Shanghai. Finally we managed to prise are away from the tourist and get going again.
With around 34 miles to Delingha and plenty of time we just rode easy, taking in the different scenery, eventually we turned of the road up to Delingha, through a tree lined avenue flanked by industrial plants and new housing developments it all looked really new and a bit strange but very nice.
we cycled into the centre of the city, tried the first hotel, no luck not for "foreigners" then tried a few more all the same. Had something to eat, then tried one more place, we seemed to be getting somewhere the receptionist took are passports then said she would need to phone the police to check. When the Policeman came he just said no tourists allowed in this area, we will need to move on, he just wanted us out of the City. All a bit strange, I think they where processing urainium there or something similar.
Well that just meant another nights camping, happy days, we followed the river out of the city, looking for a suitable camping spot, Keith found a great spot in the woods by the river, until the iregation system started and soaked him, we did not camp there.
Ended up camping on a building plot out of the city, looked like they were building another reprocessing plant, but luckily enough it was deserted when we turned up. Very tired and a little frustrated, nothing that a pack of monkey nuts and a jar of coffee can fix.
