Finally, the cycle leg I had most been looking forward to. The traversal of the Firth of Forth via the road bridge. We wended our way through the one-way Edinburgh city centre (SV1 mum, Andrea, would have been in her element with that one!) and survived a downpour to make it for a chocolate break mid-way along the bridge with views over the estuary framed by a moody sky.
Lunchtime took us to Kinross en-route to Perth where Susie got in trouble with the school mistress-like bar lady for daring to have a post prandial power nap. Health and Safety issues. Apparently other customers (of which there were none) might spill hot coffee over her (what coffee, where?).
A beautiful cycle through woodland and alongside a babbling brook inspired some crooning of Grieg and Schubert. The dotty divas really do sing and cycle. We sailed along the 60 odd miles to Culthill Farm in Caputh, Perthshire where Mike, Fiona and labrador Kyle gave us a warm welcome and kindly invited Mum & Dad along too to a delicious supper.
