After a slight delay due to seeing a consultant about Jo’s knee and her subsequent steroid injection, we set off to Edinburgh late Tuesday morning (August 13). We needed to be at the site just north of Edinburgh by 20.00 so we only stopped for coffee refills and the toilet during our 400 mile drive north. A quick stop at Keele and Tebay services meant we arrived with 45 minutes to spare. We had taken the scenic route along the A702 from the A74 and it was gorgeous in between the rain showers! Onto our pitch and we were soon heating up the lovely pies we bought at Tebay Services Farmshop. We were shocked how cold it was in comparison to down south. There must have been at least a 10°C difference in temperature and it had started raining from Stafford onwards. Relatively early to bed as it had been a long day.
