Day 10 - part 2

(sorry, accidentally hit send too soon).
Met a few other long distance cyclists including two Danes who were cycling around the whole North Sea rim, 6,000km spread out over 7 years. And another guy doing a LEJOG like us but alone, and doing up to 100 miles a day.
The weather at the start of the day was pretty good but we had a couple of very long climbs to contend with. The first from the Forth to Cowdenbeath, and the second up through Glen Devon to just before Dunning. Had lunch in Dunning which is famous for being burnt to the ground by the Jacobites and for a monument to a burnt witch which is mysteriously repainted each year. After Dunning there was some pretty fast cycling to and through the wonderfully named Yetts O' Muckle. Where the BBC's T in the Park is being staged. After that the going got harder but still not a problem.
We knew we were staying tonight somewhere with no catering so bought a couple of ready meals. The private hostel in Caputh is very friendly and homely, a pleasant change to sit down and chat with other holiday makers.
It really feels like we are on the home straight now. We reach John O'Groats 3/4 through Friday's ride, so less than 4 days left to our goal!
Today was a tough one at over 80 miles but we are feeling now we can take whatever the trip throws at us.
