The day started looking gloomy and the weather report forecast rain moving south. We decided we could probably beat the rain to langholm if we didn’t hang around. The sky looked gloomy all day and it tried to rain quite alot with my glasses having rain spots for most of the day. The roads once out of Edinburgh. We managed to take a few short cuts on some very nice roads running next to a river with rolling hills in the background and very very few cars. That said, once we were literally in the middle of nowhere the main A7 road from Edinburgh was fairly quiet.

Sitting down on the saddle is now a delicate manoeuvre. Sitting down too quickly makes me take a sharp breath inward. My poor little bum!

With 20 miles to go it tried to rain… and succeeded. The last 20 miles were quite possibly the most uncomfortable miles so far. I was slowly getting soaked to the bone with lorries and busses contributing large walls of spray in my direction. I decided to gun it to keep myself warm, or my legs at least. My arms and hands became numb and slightly painful.

We did it though, not too pleasent but all the same we are here. Attempting to dry everything on hangers. Also no video or pictures were taken because of the rain.

I think it is Takeaway as we have no clothes or shoes that are dry. Goodnight

Blog running finally.
