Hi Folks,
Sorry for the delay in getting in touch, but we have been rather busy and the access to internet has been patchy! But we have had the most fantastic five days so far. We are tonight at Glencoe Youth Hostel having just completed Day Five and are now more than half way,
There will obviously be a fuller update when we get back home but suffice to say "It has been brilliant".
We have had a few showers on day one, wall to wall sunshine day two, continual rain day three, sunshine day four and even hotter sunshine day five.
We have been diverted through woods, detoured to a distillery, enviously watched folk sunbathing and swimming in Loch Lomond one day only to find ourselves scrambling over boulders and battling through waterfalls the next, complete with waterproofs. We have wandered through beautiful birch and oak woods, been continually amazed at the views which awaited us around the next corner or over the next hill, and admired nature's wilderness of Rannoch Moor today.
The entertainers amongst us have added to the sponsorship by getting the guitars out at night with songs and recitations going down well. Even the Drovers Inn came alive to the sound of music!
Now that place needs a blog all of its own.
Hopefully the next two days will be just as good. The midges have been bearable... just but the main thing is we are surviving.
Can't wait to tell you all about it. In the meantime I am afraid after 16 miles today, a shower now beckons and a wee dram and some food.
PS. Thank you to all our generous sponsors. You are amazing it certainly keeps us going and makes the blisters all worthwhile,
All pics and more details to follow asap.
