In between we felt very insignificant in the landscape. We took close up photos of wild red deer, waterfalls and a lot of roadworks.
We met people walking the West Highland Way - could have done a roaring trade with feet! We told them we'd rather have one tender area than two!
Glen Coe and Rannock Moor were awe inspiring! So much so that we sang anything from Bohemian Rhapsody to Somewhere Over the Rainbow! We passed the highest point on the journey up there - see the photo!
Bike has run well most of the day, except when the tyres got glued to the tarmack in the roadworks. This was followed by a five mile uphill feeling like we were cycling through treacle.
We stopped at what appear to be the worst public toilets in Scotland at Crainlarich.
Richard looks rough in all the photos today. He shared a room with a man who suffers sleep apnia and has catarrah. Richard didn't sleep well.
Cushy end to the day thanks to Bob and Michael, the Loch Lomond ferry men who declined to charge is the fair as we are riding for charity! A lovely 45 minute cruise across the loch to the Youth Hostel. If you think this is cheating, think again. We will make this up by going the long way round the south end of the Loch tomorrow.
Wish you could see the view we have now. Huge hugs to everyone!
