Yesterday we cycled out of the Lake District and into the Scottish Borders, today we left the borders and headed the Highlands via Glasgow. We're on day 10 and the sense of satisfaction that the trip provides can be hard to put into words, but I'll try anyway. This morning we set out from Moffat, climbing a hillside with views of the valley beside us, we then crossed over into the next valley and slowly descended towards the floor of the valley with fabulous view of a river and the M74 running through the valley and stretching out ahead of us. After lunch we crossed Glasgow, initially following roads through the peripheral towns then picking up a cycle way that took us all the way through, first following the banks of the Clyde, then the Forth and Clyde Canal and finally the river Leven. Occassionally we emerged into an area of Glasgow giving us a climpse of the city then we were back on our cycle path again. Although it was another 80 miler this one seemed easier, perhaps we're getting fitter or better organised with our break stops. Todays pictures are of John falling off of a bike and the brew stops which help us keep going each day.
