Day 6 Pitlochry - Dornoch Firth Caravan Park 117 miles

Bobby left early, around 5:30am. Today was tough. Pitlochry to Drumochter Summit was cold & wet. He phoned the support team to bring gloves. Gloves in July? Blair Atholl Post Office had a selection of children's MAGIC gloves marked down to 50p, just the job!
Happy 80th Birthday to Granny Wigtown today.
Bobby had an altercation with a road worker today when he tried to nip up the side of the roadworks!! Slochdt was another tough climb. Today was definitely the toughest day yet. Kenny, Lesley, Calum & Ian Kinnear provides some much needed encouragement as Bobby approached the caravan park. That evening The Kinnears treated the Stevensons to a lovely meal in The Eagle in Dornoch. Delicious food & very prompt service. Bobby stuck to his training diet and had soup followed by chicken and ham pie. Craig being Craig took his chance & had a sirloin steak, it was delicious. Thanks Kenny & Lesley.
