Johnny & Mark slept well at the Fort William hostel last night, even though one of their roomies had set his mobile alarm to beep at 2 minute intervals from 7am, & he was still asleep at 10am, by all accounts (I'm almost certain he wouldn't have been if I'd been there!!)
They began by following the A82 south west towards Loch Linnhe where they stopped for a cuppa & a bacon roll. They are now on the A828 which follows the Loch until they get to Creagan where they can cross Loch Creran, then on to North Connel where they will cross Loch Etive & continue to Oban on the A85 - sounds so easy, doesn't it?!!
They say the terrain is reasonably flat along this route, which is good news for their knees, & the sun is out but it remains quite cold (British Summer Time clearly kicks in later in Scotland!). The route is very beautiful again & they have seen Herons, Goldfinches, Hooded Crows & more Oystercatchers &, for those of you who think they're only interested in feathered creatures, they've also seen Sheep (surprise, surprise) & Llamas (now that is quite surprising!)
Look out Oban, here they come...!
