Distance: 66 miles
Average speed: 11.6 mph
Total time: 8.5 hrs
If yesterday was the day we least looked forward to, today was the day we most looked forward to, entering the highlands and cycling round the lochs and through the glens surrounded by mountains. Another gorgeous day, the road was busy but ok as we cycled the length of Loch Lomond and then climbed up high on to Rannoch Moor and descended almost 8 miles down Glencoe. The hostel is right by a pub, very convenient! Now there are fewer roads there are lots of would-be groaters, we saw a team of Marines, all with matching lycras, however they weren't even carrying their own stuff, light weights! Only 4 days left to go and feeling really close now, and our bikes and knees are holding up well.

I hope you've booked your train tickets from Wick. My firend did this trip a few years ago and said that one needed to. That may have changed.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant, I can't believe how far you've got! Keep it up!
