Auchlyne, Glen Dochart to Edinburgh 77 miles
Set off early to ensure I reached Edinburgh today. And to get the one big climb to the summit of Glen Ogle over and done with in the first half hour was a bonus. Continued down through Lochearnhead, Strathyre, Callander, Doune and into Stirling. Road pretty quite up until Callander where I stopped for a second breakfast. After that, things got busier, being Easter Monday. Home stretch saw me going through Bannockburn, Airth, and Grangemouth, before calling at Muiravonside for a quick chat to a pal. Could have used the Union Canal for the remainder of the miles but chose instead to take the road through Linlithgow, Whichburgh and Kirkliston. Back home by 4pm. And a day early.
Wildlife: Usual lowland stuff, bird wise. The geese are still making their way north in droves. Just can't help looking skyward on hearing them.
