Day 8 Dunbar to Dundee

Miles 94.78 time 7:38:53 average speed 12.3 mph max speed 33.4 mph

It’s not been the best of days today but it’s had its high points.


“Navigational issues” caused a few problems:
1.Getting out of the centre of Edinburgh
2.Getting over the Forth Road Bridge when cycles are banned from A90 road it carries.

The headwind has been back and was particularly savage on the front at Kircaldy “I’d rather go to Berwick”.

The highs have been:
1. The Northlodge B & B in Dunbar was excellent.
2. The generosity of the Scots – donations from Jane & Gordon at the B & B, Susan & Gordon (fellow guests) at the B & B, and a chap in the street when I asked for directions gave me directions and £10 for Macmillan.


Edinburgh was pleasant for coffee and croissant on the Royal Mile, and the bridges have been good (Forth Rail, Forth Road, Tay bridges).

The sun has shone all day.

Oh, and the injured Achilles and soreness seem to have stabilised.
