Windy Scottish Wetlands

It never rained, it just misted the whole time. Also it was insanely windy and coming straight down the loch. I don’t know what a loch is, even after seeing two. It looked like a really big puddle. After I got a flat, I ended up on the most hikey bike section I’ve ever done on a bike. I had to drop my bike and scramble down after it. I thought I’d be doing 60+ miles today. Boy was I mistaken.

Oh also I met a guy on the train who helped build the Macallan distillery (which I had some of after sailing to the isles of Scilly)

Also in Scotland, apparently you can drink stream water as long as you can’t smell rotting animals
