Its been a bloody good day!
Last night's haven left us refreshed and ready for anything.
The roads have been much kinder than yesterday, however we did have a chain break on a very busy main road. As Joules attempted to recover the chain an articulated lorry attempted to run over it. The language was choise and all other vehicles gave a wide berth.
Richard had the chain back on in five minutes using a quick link while Joules took self portraits with her camera of various expressions, not for publishing!
Fortunately we were only five miles from Dumfries, so a call was made to the bike shop there to get a replacement spare quick link. Not sure of where we were Joules spotted the Marie Curie shop & we were welcomed as heroes!
All replenished we set off again, only to hear a hissing sound as we left the town. Guess what, a puncture. In the rear wheel too. A quick dive off the island and in to a small field to replace the inner tube. Joules took more photos.
Shortly after this we saw signs for Drumuir Farm dairy ice cream - too good to miss! These soothed our senses perfectly and left us ready for the last 20 miles to the camp site for tonight. Baleim's ass had nothing on this!
Now dosed up with paracetamol and brufen and ready to sleep!
