Went down into St. Andrews for some fish & chips and got treated to the sight across the river of two Phantoms taking off in the near dark.
Found a lay-by in the back roads to sleep.
Tomorrow will find us wending our way up to Lossiemouth (for a bit of a stay) and Kinloss - followed by a long haul back down the A9 to position at Glasgow.
