Up for breakfast of wheetabix and toast , loaded the bike ad sat to let the rain go off. It did! Waited till 11 still raining so made the decision to go in the rain. Because it didn’t look as though it was going to stop so on my way to Oban only 40 miles so i thought not too bad of a day, how wrong can one be! 40 miles up hill, in the rain and the wind. I must have walked 10 of the 40 miles got to oban 3.30, found the hostel lovely spot overlooking the bay had dinner in Oban. I met up with a couple of chaps who are staying the hostel Paul and roger, who are walking coast to coast. Roger was saying that he had walked John O’Groats to Lands End two years ago and wore out 3 pairs of shoes! They both donated £5 – So Thank you!
Just finished the meal and Mr Wright phoned, it’s nice to have friends isn’t it! Back to the hostel now have a dink then off to bed. Ready for the ride to fort William tomorrow. Oh by the way if Paul is reading this, we had a high of 4 Celsius today how jealous is he!
