How are we getting so lucky with the weather?! Can't believe we've had another day of sun. In fact this whole day's been pretty incredible. Not quite the scenery of yesterday, but pretty staggering for all sorts of differnt reasons... Not the desotae mountians of the highlands, but amazing rolling hills of Lanarkshire..
Morning started off pretty slowly; had to fix rish's rack, then got stuck in Glasgow a bit confused about directions, but nothing a MaccyD's couldn't sort out :)
Afternoon seemed to be continuous uphill, though q gradual. Reached 1000 ft and went through Abington, Scotland's highest village. Had lengthy periods of time on cycle paths, so nice as off the main roads and quite funny, Amanda wacked into one of those cycle gate things which are meant to slow you down.
Coming into Moffat was the most amazing feeling ever - About 15 mins straight downhill no pedalling, stunning scenes all around - thick forest and hills and fields and fields of cows and sheep and not much else, not even cars. Felt free and peaceful and so exhilarating.
Moffat is the sweetest little place, we're staying in the best b+b yet by far - huge room, huge ceiling, absolutely silent and views stretching on and on from the big windows. Amazing little italian where we had supper - first proper meal out besides fish and chips and jackets potatos, felt amAzing, and had delicious bottle of Gavi.
75 miles today, knees hurt a bit but feel fit and strong and praying that lasts.. :)
Land End
we made it... despite the weather!
