Pugsworth in Scotland - the details

I spent an hour updating this yesterday in Inverness thinking it would be my last internet for a while as it is getting harder to find and/or more expensive but then I find myself at a hostel in Ullapool with internet at a pound an hour, the basic UK rate and cheapest I've ever seen at a hostel. So because of that and because I haven't updated for a while due to having too many adventures I've decide to write two posts, this one with the basic details of where I've been and people stayed with and the major things I've seen, and distances cycled etc which I know some will be interested in and the other which will record some of the more significant experiences. So the details: Sunday 17th July - train from Newcastle to Edinburgh, rode south to Peebles in the Borders where I stayed with Servas hosts for two nights. 23 miles into head wind - 3hrs. Monday 18th - quiet day, walked the town in the morning and nearby forest hills in the afternoon with one of my hosts. Had Haggis for dinner - yum Tuesday 19th - rode back to Edinburgh 23 miles with tail wind - 2hrs. couldn't find a Servas hosts but couch surfed instead and still scored a bed for two nights! Wednesday + Thursday - in Edinburgh, walked up to Arthurs seat for a great few, castle and watched some of the Homeless World Cup.
