Over to Arran now

Best cycle so far good 60 moles with some sun shine and even a tail wind part of the way!

Just going on the ferry now, need a Guiness.

Oban

That really was not very nice, but the good news was that I have not been troubled by midges!
No cakes today and on reflection I am rather glad to see the back of Hurricane Irene.

A very tough day with long steep hills so double rations of pasta & Guiness.

Happy day's

Fort William

I hope next time I cycle such a beautiful route I can see more than 50 yards. A very hard day for all sorts of reasons not least of all was cycling for so long into driving rain and strong headwinds. Any way now eating a meat pasta dish for four or a very hungry JOGLER!

One high point was a red deer that I startled on the north shore of loch lochy.

Time for more food. Good night and thanks for your interest.

Where are they now?

Where they are, is still not set off for Scotland yet! The van has at last arrived,
only 17 hours late, I hasten to add not the fault of the local van hire in Cornwall,
They have delivered a van within an hour of hearing that it was Hired??????!!!!!!
As to A1 van hire, we will deal with them on our return.

Nice breakfast

One small advantage of not having a full fry at Knutsford station at 8am this morning is that I was able to eat our lovely eggs instead. Looks like we might have to do LEJOG rather than the JOGLE!
Happy days

Waiting for the van - don't use A1 van hire!

Must be real, Bike has gone to menders for full service.

I would like to say I had given the bike such a beating that it needs major overhaul but I regret I think that due to standing still too long in the garage it has grown old.

Anyway can't wait to get to Lands End
