Gretna to Abingdon

3/06
Gretna to Abingdon 50
Lovely sunny day with the wind in the right direction to take us north. The first 30 or so miles were pretty good and we made good time. The distance between settlements is greater than in England and this makes it feel a little more remote. 
Beattock village was our lunchtime stop in anticipation of the climb up the hill which was hardly noticeable. The long descent was welcome although the road surface was poor which numbed the hands in particular. 
A unique stay in Abingdon at the hotel in the service station rounded off quite a pleasant day.
