Day 17 - Once Brewed to Annan - 65 kms

Yep looking out the window the rain was back again although thankfully it had passed on by time of our departure

After a forgettable breakfast at the Y of 6 baked beans and scrambled eggs with the consistency of rubber we hit the trail for some high speed cycling across fairly flat countryside passing through Longtown to the obligatory photo stop at Gretna Green on the Scottish border (goodbye England).

For the sake of our Scottish leg we have assumed our rightful clan names - Jockstrap Mchenley & Mega Mcsporron!

We arrived embarrassingly early at our accommodation in the little to do town of Annan at 230pm in time to watch the real riders in the Tour De France

Over 1200 kms covered and a further 3 days of riding before heading over to Ireland for a change of pace and a few pints of guiness!

Cheers Mike & Kev
