Greetings from Bridge of Orchy in the Highlands

Slightly interesting day in the health department. Chris' knees are starting to play up, Sam's Achilles has swollen up to a remarkable size and Graham says his rear feels like it's been through a shredder. So all a bit nervous about tomorrow. Mind you a great day in store, Fort William to Inverness via the Great Glen. 

Today left Abington at 06:30 headed for Glasgow. The Scot's really know how to do cycle paths. We had a cycles only path which was literally the size of a good road, it probably had been one.

Went south of the city via East Kilbride and over the Clyde on the Erskine bridge. That took us to Loch Lomund and along the shore line for twenty miles and on into the Highlands. Another 20 miles under the brooding mountains, green, blue and grey in the evening sun.

Bridge of Orchy Hotel is a lovely old place, full of walkers (mostly Dutch?) As this is an important way point on the West Highland Way.

Hilarious sun tans!!!
