Edinburgh to Glasgow: July 5, 2008

  Frank accompanied Alan and Cyane on the 65 mile bikepath from Edinburgh west to Glasgow.
It rained most of the way, and we all ended up covered with mud.
Still, a great ride and an introduction to the engineering wonder of the Falkirk wheel - a ferris wheel for canal boats, designed to get them from one canal to another at a different level.
Here is a picture of Frank in the rain with the Falkirk wheel behind.  It is hard to tell how enormous it is - that is a canal boat the size of a train car at the top of the question mark!
