On the way off Cross Fell, one of my rear spokes breaks.  With this, my tubeless tyre lose pressure, and it's time to put a tube in.  I've only got one in the bag (I gave my other to Patrick on the 'Ard Rock).  The spare tube is a punctured one I must have picked from the "to repair" pile.  I try to fix it on the track, but fail.

35 km walk back to the car.

Last 15km across the moor in pitch dark.

Lucky I had (a) a map, (b) warm clothes, (c) a torch, and (d) some spare food.

Got to the car for 9:30pm.  The stars were beautiful.

Tomorrow will get wheel fixed, buy some tubes and rest my poorly feet!
