We weren’t really sure what to expect from this day, but it turned out to have some of the nicest riding of the week. Perth proved quite easy to get through and we were out on the open road – the A9 – by 9am. From then on it was just a case of following the road north. It was pretty hectic earlier on, but the traffic ebbed and flowed during the day, definitely getting lighter and nicer later on.
A highlight of the whole trip had to be getting a multi-tone air horn blast from a truck going the other way!
We were almost finished within the last of the fast-failing day light, and had a good meal of pasta and bolognaise (more pasta!) with my parents before getting down for the last haul tomorrow. Alarms set for 4am…
