West Linton to Linlithgow - In accordance with the meticulous planning, yet another beautiful sunny day. Set off through the Portland Hills (the last of the Borders Hills), with views across to Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat (next sight of Edinburgh and Arthur's seat will be on Jessica's hen party in July, although I haven't been officially invited yet). Decended into Scotland's industrial heartland between Edinburgh and Glasgow, but contrary to our fears our route protected us from the built-up areas by way of 5 miles of country park and 12 miles on the Union Canal, including an elevated section over a viaduct, (see picture) quite wierd in a way.
28.5 miles altogether, a longer day than for some time, but relatively easy going. Jo & Dave who have been supporting us valiantly for the last week have to go home tomorrow. Oh my God, who's going to brew up and supply sandwiches for us now?
