Started the day eating breakfast looking over the bay. Absolutely beautiful morning, still no dolphins! Reluctantly left but only because it was so nice to be beside the sea. Hels and I decided that is the only downside of living in Leicester!
Set off at a really good pace, both feeling good and no aches and pains.
Headed along A82 stopping for a few photos. Castles, Lochs, Highland Cattle and Red Deer. Route was reasonably level and we went past Loch Creran, Linnhe, Lochy, Oich and finally Loch Ness.
Stopped along the way for lunch in Fort William and passed some guys we had last seen in Somerset. Spoke to some other guys doing the end to end and they were planning to arrive tomorrow! No luggage!
Of course it had to rain at the end of the day.
Arrived at Loch Ness YHA, which looks right over the Ness. Bike shed available again, so very useful and our own room each. Only downside is the nearest pub for food was a cycle ride away, so back on the bikes!
Nearly there! Glad it’s going well. Beamish is having a lovely time – eating well and sleeping lots.
Getting close now.
I do hope a few of those photos make it up onto the blog.
Very jealous. I would love to undertake a LEJOG but I will never have the fitness or the nerve.
Just keep swimming – loving reading all about it – keep it up and hope the sun keeps popping out for you. x
Yes, like Kasia says, just keep swimming.
You are doing fantastic – big well done
By the time you get to the JoG bit of LEJoG i’ll be on my way to Hong Kong so sending you lots of good luck wishes and hope the rest of your trip is as entertaining !!
hope you get at least one cream tea and Billy is looking forward to hearing all about it when you get home !!
Enjoying reading all your comments – keeps us going. Less than 100 miles to the end now – so well chuffed!
Claire – have a fantastic time in NZ.
