UP early so we can be packed and on the road to Edinburgh airport by 9.30am.

Check in is smooth and we’re in Heathrow by lunchtime. We have a couple of hours so go for some grub….it’s gonna be late when we get to our hotel and everything is likely to be closed.

There’s the usual queues at non-EU passport control – and none at EU (thank you Brexit) – but at least all the bags and gear arrived safe.

Our driver Adam meets us at arrivals and we have a three hour drive to our hotel in Sumperk.

We arrive after midnight – the place is very grand but looks deserted. I check the guitars but am too tired to do much else….
