Woodstock to Perth-Andover (80km)

When we looked out the window this morning, we knew it´s going to be a tough day! Straight headwind with strong gusts on a cold but sunny morning. It was north wind and it brought a taste of winter or the cold North from where it comes. 

We left quite early, heading North, again the whole day along the river. Soon we crossed the world´s longest covered wooden bridge, more that 400 meters long. It was built 110 years ago by citizens of the area who were tired of waiting for the government to build a bridge. So they got together and after two years the brigde was standing. In winter they had to bring a lot of snow into the bridge in order to cover the floor, because those days people were traveling on sledges, drawn by horses.

The rest of our day was exhausting like seldom before. The wind was slowing us down to 16 km/h average and working extremly hard for it. After 80 km in Perth- Andover we gave up and found a small inn, where we are the only guests.
