Day 4 (Monday) Preston - Biggar 158 miles

Bobby set off from Preston at 5:15am having eaten a large bowl of Just Right and a couple of marmalade sandwiches. The arrangement was to meet at Kendal but he had got to nearly Penrith when he phoned the support crew. The Sat Nav was altered to Carlisle then to Longtown and we took the M6 to see if we could catch him up!! Val's overtaking has increased to 8 vehicles. Eventually we caught up with Bobby at Longtown and headed to Gretna for lunch with John Williamson, Kathryn & Andrew. After lunch in the caravan park, we took advantage of the photo opportunity at the WELCOME TO SCOTLAND sign before Bobby, Adam & Andrew Williamson headed off to conquer the Beattock summit. Meanwhile Val, Kathryn & Craig headed to Moffat where Sybil (Andrew & Kathryn's mum) joined them. After a blether, Craig & Val headed off to meet the cyclists. We caught up with them after Beattock Summit. Willie Currie was there as well as John Williamson. Plenty support today!!! Adam decided to call it a day and let Craig join the cycle team which he did until the traffic got too busy and Willie Currie brought him back to Thankerton(Biggar) where Val & Adam had arrived earlier. Bobby arrived at The Chesters about 6pm looking forward to a hot bath but the boys had used all the hot water!!
