What a day. First time I asked myself why. AM was hard. Both knees are now equally not happy. Sorry to harp on but imagine a knock on the funny bone but in both knees. It worse when I start up. It actually make me feel sick odd really. Wind was also strong. Cross wind from the north west. Slowing me and trying to push me into the road. Worst of all it was taking both my breath and also my will away. After a brief stop with wife and child thing got a bit better. The turning point on the day was instigated by the breaking of a spoke. I tried to get help from Mrs H but had no signal. I rode on. A little worried about the strength of the wheel. 500m on there is the scottish boarder and Harry. Quick stop new wheel and off I went. Second happy coincidence of the ride. Thing seemed to get better after that. I got used to the pain and the wind dropped a little. The crossing of the forth bridge was amazing what a view. Cycle lane is much better placed than the road. Details will ne added later. A very big thanks for your messages. And a huge huge thanks to Mrs H and Harry they are both ace. Thank also to Jonesy you're a top chap.

It's bound to get tough after consecutive days of such sustained effort. I'm glad to see you're already in Fife because it's going to be a scorcher today. I can't imagine that makes your task any easier, though preferable to wind and driving rain presumably. It's great that you have support from your family and friends - sounds like it really gave you a boost. I bet you've got some spectacular views ahead. Enjoy the next couple of legs. You've come a long way!
