Tuesday 21st September - for those of you who are confused (or don't really care) what Day number we are on
Day 16 - Glencoe to Loch Ness
Hannah and Paul were a bit apprehensive about this day as they had experienced shorter distances over the last couple of days. It turned out to be another good day both in terms of weather and terrain. Paul was listening to a CD of movie theme tunes, Big Country, Lord of the Rings etc as they cycled through wonderful scenery but the aptness of the picture disappeared with Laurence of Arabia but it can be justified as we didn't have rain.
Ian was feeling the effects of his walk up Ben Nevis today and looked a little like John Wayne without the horse. He got fed up with the plodders in the end and sped ahead. We covered the 60 miles in about 7.45 hours including breaks. Ian arrived an hour earlier and settled down beside Loch Ness to do a water colour. En route near Spean Bridge we came across a Marine Memorial with a statue of 3 marines with a backdrop of Ben Nevis - all very pretty apt for Hannah's sponsorship (Help for Heroes). More pics!
The YH is right besdie the Loch and our room has a great view across it. Most of the YH's in Scotland are a very good standard, are well equipped and set in some wonderful locations.
Things are looking a bit tougher tomorrow with a 67 miler and the terrain becoming more challenging and there's only 3 days to go. Where has the time gone?
Thoughts are now  turning to JOG but still a good way to go.
