WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST

I woke up to a beautiful morning – a cloudless sky, sun shining and Loch Lomond looking idyllic.








Set off from Balmaha at 9am and life couldn’t get much better then this.







My first sighting of a highland cow.

But the way became ‘the steep and rugged path’ undulating all along the east shore of the Loch. It took me until one o’clock to walk the seven miles to Rowardennan. I was very tired and I was certainly not looking forward to the next seven miles. With grim determination and a pack of Quiggley’s mint cake I scrambled along the path to Inversnaid arriving at 5pm. I was very tired.
Inversnaid Lodge is beautifully situated on the hillside and my bedroom has a bay window looking over the Loch. Vicky very kindly brought me my suitcase and we had dinner together. The food and accommodation excellent.

The next problem was getting an internet connection. One of the owners of Inversnaid Lodge, Andre, very kindly let me use his laptop to enter the blog.

Now to bed and 61 miles to go…
