We set off this morning at 6:40 hoping to get to Ayr from Gretna Green however we've ended up somewhere completely different!
Within the first 10 mins of riding we were all completely drenched and were being blown all over the road by the howling winds. It really was bitter, i found myslef singing the hit classic 'American Pie' over and over again whilst riding in order to keep the internal spirits high. Thankfully no one heard as the wind drowned out any musical tunes!
We continued for a brave 25 miles Then we decided to head for shelter in the Little Chef. After ringing out our clothes and drying our socks via the hand dryer in the disabled toilets we decided to replan our travel arrangements over a few cups of tea. We were now going to head to Crawford, 40 miles south of Glasgow thanks to some useful iphone work by Chris. This way we would not be fighting the wind as much.
We arrived in Crawford a few hours later. I can only describe it as a local town for local people, so looking forward to heading north tomorrow!
Starting to count down the days now : ) !
P.s it's navigator Tom's birthday today, so happy birthday to him!!!
