Settled in on the site but a change to the toilet block cleaning they have swapped them around so the one we have used for years now gets cleaned at 1545 ugh. This site has got sanitiser unlike North Berwick that had none but this stuff small like the bottom of a horse box. Ugh again.
Cycled up to Queensferry a 3.5 hour round trip + 10 mins to repair a puncture thanks to the “tack brigade” who love to sabotage cyclists.
Walk in the afternoon to stretch our legs.
