The winds have picked up and are constantly in my face. I've taken a right battering during these first 10 miles. If it were a football match then I'd liken it to Newcastle's recent trips to Anfield. I'm on the back foot all the time and there's been little chance of mustering an attack. A quick thank you for the pledges made today. Thanks also to the lady near Latheron for the encouragement. 10 miles down, 17 to go.
