Next Wednesday 15th July I'm thinking of going for 01H, 01D and 10S, the three in Galloway. Is there any advice from those who have been?

Once these are done then I'm pretty much down to needing overnights.

Hi Dave
Yes I did all three in March in dreadful weather, gales and pouring rain.
10S is straightforward and easy to find.
01D has a large asphalt car park for easy turnround.
01H has a small car park but the gate leading to the car park was locked so I had a real struggle to turn round, and the last bit of the 'track' was rutted with potholes....
Like you I'm now down to overnight stops to finish off Scotland.
Stay safe
Regards Bob

As Wales seems to be flavour of the month. It would be rude not to pop out for the day.
I took a reserve South Stack picture, as it was so wet and foggy I couldn't see the lighthouse.
The picture is better than the real view!

After lockdown months of inactivity, I feel as though I have done a marathon work out, wrestling the GTL through the hairpin bends that lead to the south coast destinations....

First run out after lockdown, so a quick 340 mile sprint (well, compared with mega distances covered by some!) around East Anglia today. And then girl at Winkles Cafe turned the sign in the window to "closed" just as I arrived at 4 o'clock - so no fish and chips today - oh, well, maybe another time!

It's well past time I got my Tour under way...

6 Hearts - St Anne's Well, Malvern. I was lucky enough to be there as they were setting up for the day, so I could put my flag on the well itself. They're using that room to serve food/drink ordered next door, so it's normally off limits.
