No internet here. May not be able to post until Fort William on the 29th.
World Expeditions itinerary for today was to take a taxi from Ardlui to Crianlarich and then hike 16 miles to Inveroran. The weather was supposed to be very windy and rainy starting in mid afternoon so we decided to have the taxi take us to Tyndrum and have a 10 mile hike and try to beat the weather. Imagine me listening to the voice of reason. Peg said it was her good influence on me. I said it only took her 48 years and wondered what she had in mind for the next 48? All in all it was a good plan since as we approached Inveroran the wind picked up and the rain started. We arrived here about 3:00 so it has been a relaxing afternoon. Peg even got in a short nap.
The taxi dropped us off in Tyndrum at 10:15. The trail to Bridge of Orchy was mostly very good and we covered the 6 1/2 miles with ease. The trail was so good that Peg was able to take the lead for long stretches and got a break from looking at my backside.
We ate our packed lunch at the Bridge of Orchy Hotel and headed uphill on a rocky trail for about 2 miles and then downhill for the last bit to the Inveroran Hotel.
Tomorrow we have a 12 1/2 mile hike up, down and through the Moors of Scotland. It will most likely be our worst day of weather to date. We are prepared.
