Day One Summary
In one word - wet. Route out of Dunbar on a long straight path beside a main road in the rain wasn't particularly inspiring. Soon enough though it turned onto country lanes through nice rural countryside with rolling hills. The route crossed a ford (we took the bridge), cut across wheat and bean fields and through a memorial forest of Scots pine. Nice - even in the dull damp conditions. The McGavins stayed with us to near North Berwick- just over 11 miles for the kids. They seemed to enjoy it and didn't complain about the weather or odd steep hill. The relatively slow pace and house fire though had us behind schedule so from North Berwick Alan, Celia and I more on less team time trialled it. Conditions were poor with heavy downpours and dull conditions - it was the right thing to do and we covered the last 20 miles to the Premier Inn in Musselburgh in 90 minutes. Summary Left Dunbar 5.15pm, arrived Musseburgh 8.30. 31.24 miles, 2 hours 34 min cycling time. Avg speed 11.88mp...
