The weather was a lot better today, only slight rain at the end. Made good time to Cullen (50 miles). From there to Fraserburgh it was very hilly on the coastal roads but well worth it passing through all the lovely villages. Arrived about 5.40pm. The Duke of Edinburgh missed us today, he was at Kinloss yesterday shuting down a few squadrons. I'm sure he will be disappointed (not) :-)
We said goodbye to the two members of the support team Joe and his dog Rio. Joe has been an amazing support over tour, he certainly adds a great deal of humour. I think the charity shops around the coast of Scotland can now relax :-)) Have have to thank Rio too - who was very supportive, happy and affectionate at all times. He was the only member of the team who could be guaranteed not to take the micky......
Met Iain Small in Fraserburgh and was taken to his abode for the night. Had a hot bath (luxury) , curry, two beers and a great chat - Brilliant hosts - an enormous thank-you.
One more sleep and it time to go home!!
