Did I expect to make it here today? I admit my confidence was badly shaken
over the last few days. But I write now from Pitlochry, on the southern
fringe of the Cairngorms, after a frisky 60 miles from Edinburgh through
cold drizzle and wind, unable to see the high peaks around and ahead of me,
and facing the prospect of tomorrow's 84-miler to Inverness with something
approaching eagerness. The muscles, of course, were not tired today, and
the countryside was attractive without being harsh. All in all, I may have
earned a glass of the local distillate tonight.

Brilliant! Well done you.
Brilliant! Well done you.
What a tale! I had a lot of catching up to do, but now I think I'm up to speed with the blog. I hope I'll soon read that you've had a pain-free, sunny but hilly ride to Inverness. But however it works out, I'm in awe of your amazing journey. To me it's not just about all those miles in the saddle, but all the visits to hospitals, support groups, drug companies etc that you have managed to coordinate on the way. Well Done!!!
Peter

Peter, my husband and I discuss your journey every night and wonder what the day has been like for you - knowing that the wind direction has not been kind to you.
