Then it started to rain.. A bit further down the road Peter got a puncture. The captain decided to push on as we are the slowest and the others would catch up... 45 miles later they hadn't and we stopped for food. They weren't far behind turns out Peter had two punctures.
Lots of midges at the food stop so we decide to get going ( the captain insisted despite some of the others not being quite ready) as we were stopping at Peters mums in about 35 miles. Just before Lesmahagow The captains sister Fiona and parents arrived in a car following us and cheering to Strahaven were we stopped. We were all grateful for the support. Here we had a beautiful three course dinner cooked by Helen, Peters mum. Yummy but started to make us feel a bit sleepy so had to get going again.
Paisley only 25 miles away do we feel quite pleased with our efforts looks like we'll get to the hotel before 7..
We get to the hotel... Mmmm .. Broken windows... Curtains not on the rails... We're not stopping there..
We manage to find a Premier Inn at the airport en route to the Erskine bridge where we're heading tomorrow. Not quite as early as we thought but still in the hotel by 8.
