Chris been training rides in the Chiltern hills, whilst Louise (who lives in Amsterdam) has had to make do with flatter terrain.

Day 13

This has been without doubt the best ride of the entire trip so far. Crossing into Scotland this morning was another significant landmark but why did they have to stick the border at the bottom of a steep hill which means you loose the run up the other side when you stop to take the obligatory photo!
An unexpected treat was finding a Tibetan tea room miles from anywhere complete with Bhuddist monks, temple and prayer flags. The ride through the remote border lanes to our isolated stopover at Tushielaw Inn was spectacular and the superb weather completed a great day. The only down side is a rather predictable absense of any signal so our apologies for the late arrival of Day 13. Distance from Lands End 610 miles.
