Then straight on the road, 57 miles to Inverness. It would have been nice to stop and take photos, with the snow on the Cairngorms...but the light was fading.
We arrived as it finally was dark.
Then today we finally got away just before eleven..and straight into cloud going up over Slochd...and clear the other side..relief!
We found the bike shop in Aviemore...and they recommended a café...cyclists are the best ones to ask! And there we went..after Pirate had bought himself a pair of gloves for use when he rides the track at the Velodrome.
Then off again..a pit stop at Broxden outside Perth...a shopping stop on the South edge of Glasgow at Newton mearns...then home. 207 miles from Inverness.
As it was still light, we unloaded the car before supper..and checked the post.
Strangely we have a letter saying that we owe for cleaning our Travelodge room in Manchester because of smoking. Apart from the fact that this is for the 6th of October...and our room wasn't cleaned until after we left on the 8th, after our week's stay there...we don't smoke...
Something to sort out in the morning. But not the welcome home that we had hoped for.
Himself has retired to bed...his job is navigation and observation...so not very taxing...but he is still battling that UTI...antibiotic course number three has been started...and is working..but we need to find out why they aren't clearing the infection properly.
What di I do first thing tomorrow? Pack and send four eBay sales and catch up on the paperwork!!
We have just realised something....the person above us at the Manchester Travelodge was throwing rubbish out of their window...some rather dubious rubbish. I think they are the culprit.

What a curious letter from Manchester. I hope you get to the bottom of it! Do you think the upstairs guest was chucking cigarette butts out the window, and maybe they landed on your windowsill?
Welcome home and I'm sure you can sort that unexpected invoice.
What a journey! I think I'd be exhausted too.
