thanks all - not pictured: suffering
had originally planned to ride the faultline trail (scotland bottom to top) but quickly figured out I had bitten off more than I could chew by time I got to glasgow (though I don't discount finishing the route...at some point). lowest point of the tour was rolling down 1km of gravel hill (for gravel read 'chuckies') on a flat tire when all tubes had burst... some pretty bad nicks/tears in my tire there and don't want to think about dents in rim. was either that or an hour long hike...
so then replanned to carry on from glasgow along the cycle route network to the top... but had not accounted for the weather turning to the worst it has been up here for /months/. as I say, really annoying and really gutted... I mean, I still have next week off, have just learned about the badger divide (which can be done in a sensible 4 days), and feel like I have unfinished business, so... if I can get my bike back in a rideable condition.... who knows 😶
