Lo & behold there was sunshine when we woke this morning and it stayed that way all day. It was still cold at first but it warmed as the day wore on, topping out at around 15 degrees. I rode most of the day in short sleeves, the first time since day one.

The route wound around the outskirts of Edinburgh and over the famous Forth Road bridge with views of the rail bridge.

It was then back into the country side with its rolling hills and spectacular views. I took many photos but they don’t always do justice to what the eye can see.

The roads were mostly traffic free & when it did occasionally transition to an A road there was usually a separate bike path away from the traffic. There were a few cycle tourists out and about too as it is a popular area to ride in.

When I arrived at Blair Atholl castle Mundi had the campsite all set up so it was into the shower & then stretch the aches out.

Mundi prepared another gourmet meal, no easy feat in the camper, then we went for an evening walk to look at the castle. Two more days to go!
