Yesterday’s relentless headwind was repeated today. The weather stayed dry, however with sunny periods.

This was a quite gruelling day caused only by the north- westerly headwind that blew for the whole day.

| 'Elevenses' at the Tolbooth at Sanquhar |
Coupled with two major climbs over the Southern Uplands meant that today’s average mileage was the lowest of the tour so far.
Despite the weather conditions we had some lovely views over the Galloway Hills.

Lunch break was at New Cumnock a village immortalised by Robert Burns (Sweet Afton, etc, etc)
The fact that we were also on the saddle for longest period of the tour so far told its own story as we wearily arrived at our lodgings at Ayr at 7.15pm
