We woke up this morning feeling slightly bruised and battered from the previous days escapades (myself and Charlotte anyway). But we weren't going to let that stop us getting in a full days ride to make up time we had lost. After setting off from our campsite which was kindly provided by an old gentleman "who doesn't normally do this kind of thing", but very kindly let us camp there anyway. We then had to try and find our way out of Dunfermline and on the road to Pitlochry, which was easier said than done. After some cycling round in circles we made our way out of the city and were on our way. The plan was to follow cycle routes and all was going well. Will even treated himself to an ice cream on his "big day out" (see below).
Then things being how they are on this journey took a down turn. It started raining for the first time in 11 days. So we kitted up in wet weather gear for the rest of the journey. Which took a little longer than expected due to Charlotte's poor map reading skills (her words not mine) which meant a short day turned into a 130km day. Although we did get to see some amazing scottish scenery, even if it was half hidden in cloud.
When we finally arrived at camp 7 mile outside Pitlochry we were all in need of a hot shower and a warm bed. So on that note and with the pitter patter of rain on the tent. Goodnight.
