Slept pretty well considering the storm, which was blowing outside, when I went to the showers there were two chaps from the next tent they had been in there since 3am! They were saying they were from Belgium and have been coming to Scotland for 6 years and never had weather so bad as this. Had breakfast on site, at the stags head pavilion restaurant. The food and welcome in the world. Definitely recommend the haggis! Raced up the road, to catch the ferry as i could see it hasn’t gone, but i might as well of taken my time, because all ferry’s had been cancel because of the strong winds. While waiting at the ferry terminal, met up with a cycling group from chesterfield, and two of the ladies said they would like to sponsor me, then who should turn up but the three chaps i met on the ferry yesterday they took the website address as well and said they would put a photo on. Landed in Clanaonaig then up the hill that went on forever, met up with the there musketeers at the top. Had a rest and a chat then said our goodbyes, as they were going onto Isla. Rode onto lochgilphead found a b& b for the night had a long hot shower then off for dinner, had dinner in the pub then back to the b& b for 8.15 straight to bed.
