We had a slow start to the day, got up at 7.40 and had breakfast of Juice, cerial, a fried breakfast and toast.

Set off at around 10am towards perth, where we had a short break in the park there. Continued on to Bankfoot, where we bought a few bits and peices from the local shop.

Shortly afterwards, we passed Waterloo and later arrived in Pitlochry at 1.30 where we ate lunch in the town center.

We needed the toilet, so followed the directions and ended up at a building charging 30p a go. I needed to get changed because my cycling shorts were starting to hurt, so had to pay what must be the most I have ever paid to use the toilet.

Found a Co-op, and bought some items for dinner before finding the youth hostel at 2.30pm and updating our diaries.

We then put our bikes away in the nick of time, before it starting puring with rain.

Had showers, then made some rice, tomato and tuna mix up for dinner.

Just as we had finished eating, 30 american kids filled into the dining room about to eat their evening meal. we just about escaped the noise.

A long game of monopoly that I really should have won, but didn’t, occupied most of the evening before heading to bed.

Our dorm slept 4 men – and one of those men must have been the world champion snorer, and both me and Tom found it impossible to sleep due to the noise!
