The weather is indeed a factor. 12 noon and just entered Scotland at very suburban Gretna.

Stopped in at first place which has a "full Scottish breakfast", which looks exactly like the English version except the black pudding is called "haggis" and tastes rather like meatloaf.

20 miles in 2 hrs despite frequent map checks, navigation should now be much easier alongside the innerstate to Glasgow. Plus they don't call em the Scottish lowlands fer nuthin, easy going on a bike.No rain yet tho I expect to be seriously wet later.
