Trans Scotland stage six

Texted from Paul Friday 21:14

Waiting, waiting, waiting. We
wait in food queues, we wait
in shower queues, we wait in
toilet queues. We wait to go
over styles, we wait to go
over the start line. And now
I am waiting for the night
time trial. 9pm and here in
June in Scotland it is broad
daylight. I go off at 10.28.
In the meantime I wait. Today
has been hard enough anyway.
Only a fifth of us made the
cut off time. Very little road,
lots of gates and styles and a
never ending hill. A bit more
back tracking but an excellent
route again. And another sunny
day. Today we are camped outside
the Hub in Glentress. I spent a
fortune on food. The caterers
would cause prison riots. but
now I must eat a bar and change.
