ReplyDeleteGood luck with the long 'un tomorrow. Looking forward to the next installment :-)
Enjoying following the epic adventure! Wine, beer, luxury and food this is sounding more like a trip i'd go on.... except i'd go by train.
ReplyDeleteGuten täg!
ReplyDeleteJust read zyour blog in German hotel struggling to type on funny German keypad. ääöööößßßßß...See???!
Seems strange to think of you running in lovely sunshine past lochs etc while I´m stuck in industrial Dortmund...Yuk. Home tomorrow though...ash cloud permitting!
Good luck with big run tomorrow. Cream up, Vaseline up and you´ll be away.
