Saturday 10th September - Loch Lomond to Crianlarich

The day dawned wet again, and with only 30 miles to do yesterday we were in no hurry to leave the hostel, and spent a while on the computer updating the blog and catching up on emails. Then I had a quick walk round the grounds, and took a few photos. It's a magnificent setting overlooking the loch. This tree trunk was artistically decorated with bits of bike,


and this was a rather unusual bird box.


We rejoined the cycle path alongside the loch until Luss, where we had a break for coffee and cakes. Two Italian women were skinny-dipping in the loch. Those crazy Mediterraneans. Had to restrain Don from stripping off and joining them.


From then on we stuck to the main road until Crianlarich, with a stop at Ardlui to shelter from the rain and get a bite to eat. The hostel and Crianlarich was excellent, and we spent some time relaxing and blogging before going down to the hotel for a meal. Don gave a definitive rendition of The Two Rochdale Mashers which is now on youtube for the listening pleasure of all.
