Day 9 Annan to Prestwick (and then up to Gourock Ferry terminal).



Miles: 85:27
Calories: 5694
Time: 5:31
As i’m typing this there is a crisis in the caravan. Everything seems to be going wrong. The bike wouldn’t fit in the car to start with, then the breaks got bent on the way back, then i broke the caravan window, the sink isn’t draining and it’s started to rain whilst in England there is a heat wave !!! It’s safe to say that we are both tired and need to recharge the batteries. I think within the space of 3 hours since we’ve been back, we have sworn more times than on the whole trip. I need a beer (although in full honesty, i love seeing Dad swear and getting pissed off, it truly is one of life’s greatest comedy moments)
The ride today was stunning. Apart from the consistent threat of rain (i prefer it when it just rains, at least it’s not teasing you) Scotland is great. A very secluded ride at times today, rolling up on the hills and along the sea front but just what i imagined Scotland to be. Loads of wildlife and viewings of the natives (although i haven’t seen one can of Iron Bru as of yet).
Tomorrow we cross on the Ferry to Dunoon. I only mention this because i managed to catch a glimpse of the opposing land when the cloud broke.......all i can say is i will be having nightmares tonight about huge mountains!
To tired to write any high/low points.
