Day 10 to Drum near Kinross Monday 20/6/6
A great day from start to very near the end. From Selkirk we headed back towards the original route at Peebles. Here we were met by Michael Hughes (of T. P. Hughes, Tenby) and family - they were checking up on us to make sure the sponsorship was valid. It was very funny as when they honked their car horn at Richard he assumed it was someone looking for a fight.
Then on to Edinburgh where the route took us through the centre (Princess Street) and then to the Forth Road Bridge which we hit at the rush hour. Fortunately there is a cycle track but that was very busy too. Great views from the bridge.
Ray suggested we take a short cut through Dunfermlin so of course we got completely lost - despite asking for directions from the police! Never mind the hotel at Kinross was great, big rooms and friendly staff, and David Dimbelby was staying that night too ( but he forgot to interview us). Did you know Kinross was where curling was invented.
691 miles gone - we are getting close.
