Day 5 Crianlarich to Lesmahagow

Just been on the phone to the mighty duo. So quote unquote.
" It's been a simply awful day, pesistent rain all day, rain pelting in your face, flying up from my wheels, getting a soaking every time an enormous truck flies past at 50 mph, soaking you in an instant" uttered Paul.
" Feeling really down, didn't enjoy Loch Lomond as I had to concentrate on staying on the road with all the lorries tonning past. Both knees are hurting like mad. Not enjoying it.Still they say the sun is coming out tomorrow........Hey ho!" said Lucy.
It's a new day tomorrow and the weather is set better supposedly. They will be following the M74 down southwards towards Gretna on a B road that hugs the motorway so hopefully no trucks , just the sound of them!
And the good news..... Paul loved the food at the pub they've just been to. Must have been absolute loads of it and have been cheap as chips then!
