It begins! Totally surreal start to the trip: cycled out of my driveway waving goodbye to Robbie and heading for the unknown. The bike weighs a fucking ton! Two full size rear panniers (full to the brim), tent, helmet, lock, two water bottles, jacket, handlebar bag...not to mention me!
Off to see the Winker toady, excellent to have someone I know on my first night. Stopped in Strathaven for lunch. Totally paranoid about the bike getting nicked on the first day but thankfully the nice folk in Strathaven let it be. Meaty weather and some encouragement from an old man dog walker made the first day pretty easy.
