Day 1

Mobile Blogging from here.


Up at 5.30 this morning, quick breakfast, packed up our kit and then on our way at about 7.15 following a bagpipe band got the first 5 minutes.

fantastic sunshine and views across the ocean to the Orkney Islands for 35 miles before turning in land and following a beautiful river to our final destination Culrain. Gybe had a major mechanical, his gear cable for front mech snapped and halfords had to replace his shifters this evening. Being good team members Jeroen and I didnt wait! The stats 106 miles just over 16mph and back in under 7 hours just before the rain started. a good and fairly easy day with a lot worse to come. all showered and changed and reading paper with a well earned beer before dinner and a massage.
