after a real good day yesterday having done 80 mile we b&b at the farmers arms at clarence field,just outside annan,this morning after breakfast we returned to the room and watch some tv hopeing the wind may die down.but that didnt happen.so waterproofs on we set of in very windy conditions,not very good for kellie she was been blown left right and centre.not so bad for me on the recumbent i just got my arse wet with every puddle we went through.
a tea stop in annan and thenon to gretna and lunch.at this point what remained of my laminated flags were removed and eventualy just as we are about to leave scotland we got a st andrews flag so that was put on the flag pole,a phone call to matt he is making new set of flags and posting them to liverpool for us to collect.
from gretna we used the service road which runs parallel to the M6 we saw a lorry crawling up the hard shoulder with its roof half of flapping in the wind.this is were kellie was blown of the bike twice she wasnt happy,it was decided for safety reasons carisle was going to be far enough in the gales.arraving at the B&B the owners were on tree watch as branches and trees are coming down all around,there sirens racing all over.glad we have pulled up for the night
