Day ten 1046km down 417km to go

Another beautiful morning with the use of the excellent facility's at slatebarns campsite in Roslyn allowed us to be set up for the day. As we headed for Edinburgh we entered via one of the main-ish roads which gave us a quick glimpse of the castle before descending into the city.

As we descended Charlotte and I had a little fight with a man hole cover and a pothole and lost. We ended up on the floor slightly cut and bruised but managed to miss the cars and safely get everything on to the pavement, After a loverly lady helped us retrieve all our gear. We decided that Charlotte and I would spend the morning in A&E where after a clean up and a X-ray (which showed no problems) we were sent on our way. Will meanwhile was having a loverly time in coffee shops around Edinburgh and just having a generally lazy time.... Ok maybe not, the result of the crash meant the tandem was broken so Will spent all morning traipsing around every bike shop and eventually found somewhere that could help. Below is how a normally straight pair of forks looks after a crash. The words wibbly wobbly spring to mind 

After the mornings kafuffle we managed to fix the bike with some spare forks and a new pannier rack as it snapped in the crash. Will had stored all our kit in a very helpful mans drive so we got everything back on the bike and set off. After cycling a short way we found a pub serving haggis, neeps and tatties which was so deserved  along with a pint. 

The picture below from the pub is  of the forth bridge.

The day however had a better turn when after cycling 42km we found a farmer who let us sleep in his field, so we've set up our camp and are heading to sleep. Hope were not to bruised and achey in the morning. Night night.
