Day 9 - 01.06.09 Southwaite to Leadhills

Distance: 70 miles
Average speed: 11.3 mph
Total time: 9hrs

Today was a great day because we crossed the Scottish border, so we are felling like we have really made some progress. Went through Gretna where someone was actually getting married, even though it mostly looks like a theme park now full of coachloads of Japanese tourists. The road today was a B road that ran alongside the M74 almost all the way to Glasgow, so it wasn't very interesting but it was quick and flat so we made good progress. We stayed at an inn in Leadhills, an old mining town that stopped mining and started decaying some time ago!
