Scotland tour .

[fastbob]

So far so good , set out at midday and got to Abington Services for 18:30 . I went M1/ A1M to Scotch Corner , A66 across Britain to the M6 , up to Gretna then picked up the eerily deserted B7078 to Crawford and Abington . I've seen my camping spot from a distance and it looks ok . The Iron Age Hill Forts look a lot higher up than they did on Google maps but I need to stretch my legs .

I actually had a rather unpleasant Chinese meal .

[fastbob]

Camped for the night now in the spot that I found on Google maps . Right on the corner of that wood . Nice and peaceful you might think ,but the roar of the M74 and the trains on the London to Glasgow line have put paid to that .

[fastbob]

I can't hear the Motorway now . The rain battering the tent is drowning it out .

[fastbob]

Day two . Abington to Morar . What a wonderful days riding . Got up and went to Abington services for a dreadful breakfast then just kept going right through Glasgow , up Loch Lomond , stopped at the Green Welly Stop , through Glen Coe , ignored Fort William and took the Road to the Isles to Camusdarach where I'm currently camped .

abington services used to be ok obviously gone down hill might have changed ownership or something

The tent could do with being bigger but I've stayed dry for two rainy nights so far . You'd be amazed what's crammed into that bag .
