Planning on doing the [url= http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=nevdesnvfokzunse&authkey=93E214DD4C526A6202EE3CFFB786217722FF9F8ADC932568 ]capital trail[/url] clockwise with two night stops.

1) at 52km - http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=355130&Y=656697&A=Y&Z=120
2) at 131km - http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=328160&Y=627447&A=Y&Z=120

Just wonderring if people know any other alternatives for night 2 a little closer to Inners to lesten the third day of riding.

Minch Moor bothy is 10 minutes from Inners but it's in a bit of a grim state - I'd only use it if it was properly foul out.

Isn't there a camping spot marked near Traquair on the GPX? Load it up and it should appear as a waypoint.

I'm doing it next weekend. Was assuming to just see how I felt and camp when I was tired. Anywhere is fair game in Scotland isn't it?

Not surprised. It looked lovely from the outside mind.
