Skelp's Lug in Oban

So the end of a shorter, more manageable & beautifully scenic day with the frequent sound of cuckoos, sees our plucky cyclists in Oban, having made it up the final long hill with a strong headwind in their faces. I'm told it is extremely windy up there at present, but the compensation was that they didn't get wet at all today - hurrah! And they are looking to the positive, hoping that today's headwind may be tomorrow's tailwind to blow them down the other side of the hill :)

Earlier they checked out tonight's accommodation & say it is a much nicer & larger room, & there is even a possibility that they may be the only ones using it. I hope you enjoy seeing the photo of Johnny in his red bunk at the hostel last night (above) - I don't think he found a mint on that pillow, do you?!!

They managed to send that pic from a local internet cafe (I'm hoping for more tomorrow). Also, whilst they were wandering around the town they thought it might be impolite not to research a local hostelry which is where they encountered a real ale called Skelp's Lug (translation: a clip 'round the ear!) - I'm only glad they called it a day before they tried another called Lifting the Kilt!!

Off to bed soon maties; you've another busy day ahead of you tomorrow :0)
