Scottish C2C Day 4 – Edinburgh to Forth Bridge (and back)

1 October 2016 Andy

Our Scottish C2C Day 4 would be our last day of the tour.

Scottish C2C Day 0 – Carlisle to Annan

27 September 2016 Andy

The first part of our Scottish C2C adventures involved the journey to the start, and that meant boarding a train from Stockport to Carlisle, followed by a cycle ride to Annan. It was an overcast, but fine day as we left the house late morning. It was lunchtime when we arrived in Carlisle. So we popped over the road to a cafe. Then it was time to head back to the rail station to meet the two other Andy’s. Soon we were on…
