Day 11  Dunbar to St. Andrews

After getting completely soaked on my 70 mile day, I decided to be a little more prepared for the rain and as the day started it looked to be not too bad. This day however wasn't going to be a rain day but gale force winds, and no matter how prepared you get, you can never prepare for wind.

My legs were still not recovered from the previous day and having to battle for 11 hours with gale force winds is not for the faint. There were times that the wind was so strong that it nearly brought me to a halt on several occasions

                                                                                                                                                                                 Lunch and the off again!

I had to limit the amount of photo's I take, as I was spending too much time admiring and not enough riding. Scotland is truly a most beautiful country and I would love to live here myself, despite the cold

As the sun set behind a distant hill, I was rolling into St. Andrews and I cant think of a better way to end a long and hard day of fighting nature. 

This brings the distance covered over 11 days to 1077miles and a 1/4 of the way done.

(There may not always be internet access and this is why I'm blogging now, in my lunch break..)
