Day 6
Route: Tarbet to Abington - 84 miles
Yes just read that again 84 miles!
Managed to get the tent posted back with no problems as handily the B&B was next door to the post office, so hopefully no more broken pannier issues for me.
Glasgow was a huge disappointment
I wanted deprivation, drunken Neds
wandering around beating up old
ladies and having to dodge used
needles all over the road. What do I
get a lovely cycle path alongside the
Clyde with nesting Swans and
everything.
Happily all my misconceptions
weren’t quashed as we stopped to
buy lunch in Clydebank, Mr Darwin
I’m afraid we are going to need to
have words when I got back and you
may have to put pen to paper again.
Through Glasgow with very little
incident (slight tiff about map reading
soon solved by me speeding off ).
Then through a few rough places at
speed and back to pleasant
countryside. The lowlands have a
more rolling aspect to them without
the spectacular views, however I can
assure you that up is still very
definitely up.
We wanted a big day today so kept
going a bit later than usual only to
run out of places to stay so had to
ride till 11 to find a hotel as there
were no B&Bs except the pikey
looking one that the Little Prince
rejected.

Food update
Fried Breakfast
Panini and carrot cake (not together)
KFC
And every midge in Scotland over the
last couple of hours of the ride.
Little Prince Update
The Little Prince had a puncture
today and fixed it himself like a
proper grown up.
He doesn’t look well now
(does ginger ever look well?) so
we’ll see how things look in the
morning.
