Day 5 Biggar to Pitlochry 118 miles

After a good night's sleep in a real bed (thanks to Mary & Willie Currie) Bobby set off just after 8am. His achilles tendon was playing up so he bandaged it up with one of Great Granny Stevenson's crepe bandages. Willie escorted him to Forth, he then headed off in the direction of The Kincardine Bridge. The support crew left some time later after gathering up the 3 loads of laundry!!! Again Willie accompanied us to Forth, making sure we were heading in the right direction! W e crossed the old Kincardine Bridge and made for Rumbling Bridge where we had arranged to meet Aunty Amelia for lunch. Val phoned her Aunty Grace in Gateside but she was out. W e looked for a suitable spot to stop for lunch and plumped for Muckhart Golf Club which was a wee bit off the road (much to Bobby's disgust!!) Bobby's journey from Rumbling Bridge was very up and down (maybe more up!) He went through Dunning, Findo Gask and Tibbermore before joining the notorious A9. He cycled along the A9 to Dunkeld where the support team were waiting (for once!!) Val & the boys even had time to wander round Dunkeld, a lovely place. From Dunkeld he cycled onto Pitlochry where the support team had parked up at Faskally Caravan Park. Bobby arrived ready for a shower, food and bed. Aunty Mary had provided "Damn Delicious" stew and two tubs of the famous Biggar ice-cream, the best tea yet. Bobby headed off to bed soon after tea. He slept in the top bed, above the front seats for the first time. This worked out well as Val & the boys were able to stretch out at the other end of the Motor home and watch Slumdog Millionaire without disturbing him too much.
