headwinds and a cold morning. We cycled for about 40 minutes at a very slow
pace, thinking that the wind was holding us up, when we reached drumochter
summit and realised we'd been climbing the whole way (there really is no
way to tell).
So from there we stayed on the route 7 cycle path, all downhill and getting
some good pace, bringing up the average from 7.5 to 12.5.
Calvine was the first village we came to, then Blair, where we saw Blair
castle (presumably where john and Jackie summer?) and killircrankie before
finally getting to pitlochry at about 9:50. It was about 30 miles (we
predicted 20) so it's good to know that we have done 30 miles of the day's
total before 10 am.
We have a winner on the boxer shorts, Dave is commando and finding it much
more comfortable.

By my reckoning, when today's over you'll have done 1/3 of your itinerary. Well done, the easy bits are to come! Best wishes, Dad.
