The promise of a laundrette fell through as two machines were broken. First job of the day was to catch up on the washing. I have previous experience of drying facilities but have to admire John’s new airing cupboard technique. Hang wet clothes in wardrobe, put hairdryer in wardrobe, turn it on and close the door.
Introducing JR and Jackie to the joys of visiting a bike shop when on tour. JR with his purchase of new brake blocks. Neidpath Castle on the banks of the Tweed. A gentle stroll along the banks of the River Tweed. JR warmed to his role of tour guide and gave us a guided tour of the bridges of Peebles. The Neidpath skew Viaduct designed for railways but now a footpath. Not necessarily a rest day. We also had in-depth instruction on the effects of rust on a bridge. I hope there is no test tomorrow. A view through the old railway tunnel of the rest of the team. Torches on and we walked the length of it.
Washing dry, body rested and ready for the challenges ahead tomorrow.
Warning- do not tell that Al about John’s inventive use of the hairdryer. There would be a real risk of her attempting to use her new water heater for the same purpose. I am not sure that any local fire brigade could cope, no matter where!
