Their journey continued, through heavy showers, past Loch Ness (where they briefly thought they'd seen the monster, but really it was just a dressed-up kiddie masquerading!), to Fort Augustus & on to Loch Lochy - all stunning scenery which can't be shared with us yet as they are continuing to suffer from signal weakness (but that's not all they're suffering from, as you'll see below!)
The boys have now arrived at their (rather new age & colourful) hostel in Fort William with their knackered knees (I think that's the technical term but, then, I'm not a doctor - let's just say, it's the most polite way I can put it!), & have had a fantastic view of nearby Ben Nevis in the evening sunshine.
Dinner tonight is a well-earned chicken affair, prepared by (v good cook) Mark - much-needed fuel after such a demanding day. Later they can look forward to a night spent with 6 other chaps in a cramped room with green doors & 4 sets of bright red bunk beds - cosy & especially rewarding for the colour blind!!
Tomorrow they have a shorter day (a mere 50 miles, approx.) which will bring them to Oban. Keep rubbing in the Deep Heat & Ibruprofen cream, lads :)

Hi John/Mark
ReplyDeleteGood to hear all is well with you both and that you have finally relaxed your thoughts of sleeping with other men ;-)
The ship of BAA is still floating without you so need to hurry back.
Keep the legs pumping lads we are all proud of you and don't worry about the knees I am always there to push you around in a wheelchair on your return.
Regards
Simon
