The first 1000km are driven and it feels better and better.<\/p>\n<p>I looked for a suitable spot to park for the night as the original spot was beautiful, but didn&#8217;t seem too appealing due to its uneven surface. So I stopped at the Panton Arms Pub, where I had dinner and was allowed to stay for the night on their car park.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5410.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1345 size-full\" height=\"3024\" width=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5410.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5410-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5410-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5410-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5428.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1346\" height=\"4032\" width=\"3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5428.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5428-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mytravelandphotoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/img_5428-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The evening was wet and I listened to the raindrop falling in the roof while I cleared a few items out of the way a proceeded to make my bed.
