After getting up at 8ish we had breakfast then looked on the maps and internet to formulate a plan for the next few days. We decided that we could do 40ish mile days and still make the train home that we had booked.

Janet and Peter later came home from church and made some dinner, whilst we watched the tennis.

After dinner we sat around for a while and eventually set off at 4pm heading for Kinross.

Coming out of Edinburgh we crossed the Forth road bridge – which was massive! We then continued on to Kinross where we saw T in the park – a music festival organised by the BBC. We started looking for accomodation, but because of the festival we had to continue further to Glenfarg, where Tom decided his knee had had enough.

After cycling round for a while looking for a local to ask, we found one who gave us directions to another house. After following the directions, we knocked on the door and were nearly taken out by a nice little dog with boundless energy. The owner of the dog made a phone call, and gave us more directions to a cottage about half a mile away where there were some spare beds.

After following the directions, we found the cottage and were welcomed by a larger dog and its owner, Sammy.

We had a mars bar for ‘dinner’, a cup of coffee and headed for bed.

Distance: 41.7 miles [11.3 mph average] (Cumulative: 580 miles)
