Sleep is in short supply AND it was raining when we woke,
our room had skylights and rain was gently hitting them pretty steadily. The
view out though looked promising.
By the time we had breakfast, the rain had stopped and we headed off in short sleeves and in sunlight.
Then began the loch-side walking through beautiful beach
forest that lined the banks of the loch (I have no idea what trees they were,
but beech sands pretty good) and lots of walkers and lots of dogs.
Again not too hard, with the occasional climb over spit of land jutting into the loch, with one pretty hefty hill, along the way.
After 21.5 km we made it into Rowardennan, and yet another pub, more beer and more chips. Dogs in the bar and fed from the table. My goodness.
Our room is smaller than at Dryden, and upstairs, yet fairly comfy, with good view up the Loch in the direction of our path tomorrow.
I think I have finally mastered the showers!

Again, not too much pressure with a steady climb into
pine forests. The highlight of the day was to be Conic Hill, a 380 m climb,
with reported great view of the Loch. Which loch? Loch Lomond of course.
Instead we too an easier route to Balmaha for lunch at
the pub. Gracious, lots of pub meals here. |
