WE MADE IT!! Kinlochleven - Fort William. We started a steep climb out of kinlochleven in blazing sunshine, sweating buckets and then encountered a brief but brutal midge attack (but the only one of trip so lucky!). What should have then been a lovely stroll past scenic mountains and through pretty forests was marred by the HEAVY rain! Again, we've been lucky that it was our first rainy day but it wasn't ideal! We arrived in Fort William and had our photos at the...

Again, another catch up on 2 days..... Tyndrum - Kings House. We started our 30k walk strongly, reaching the 7 mile bridge of orchy by 11.30 and feeling so cocky that we were striding on swiftly, that we stopped for a half in the lovely bridge of orchy hotel! Maybe that wasn't a great idea, because as soon as we left the hotel we had an uphill slog, sweated buckets, and began cursing every little rock on the path!! Following that was about 13k of monotonous path...

Well, we've been without wifi/3G for a few days now so time for a catch up! Drymen-Rowardennan, started off nicely. A small scale hike up conic hill rewarded us with our first fabulous views of Loch Lomond, lots of pics taken and enjoyed the Scottish sunshine! However...... Skirting along the edge of Loch Lomond was arduous to say the least! Lots of scrambling over rocks and undulating pathways meant our joy at seeing the '3 miles to Rowardennan' sign was short ...

Day 2. Day 1 of the actual walk completed successfully! No blisters, a few achey joints but nothing a few beverages haven't cured! The walk itself, dare we say it, was fairly easy! We had a hairy moment with some scottish cows, sian headed for an escape over barbed wire until our mate rob saved the day herding! The walking itself hasnt been too taxing, pretty views and a lunch stop at the glengoyne distillery for a few wee drams (not to our taste really but the t...

Day 1. Louise's train journey from Newcastle went smooth, Sian's did not! Broke down just after Preston and crawled the rest of the way up to the start of the way! Louise did well finding the ONLY pub in Milngavie and after a few bevvies and a bath it's bedtime ready for our 12 mile hike tomorrow up to Drymen. Not much else to say today, enjoying the comforts of the traditional Scottish abode....the premier inn!!
