Wednesday 9th July

Fairly level cycling today. Early on we traversed a Victorian iron bridge at Connel. Most of today we were cycling along loch-side roads which gave spectacular views. Unfortunately the wind had changed to a northerly so we found ourselves often having to pedal hard down the minor hills we came across. Now that we have Marian with us she is able to get better access to shops than the wagon and caravan can. Consequently our supply of mid-day food has improved. We are all beginning to tire and various parts of our anatomy are getting sore. This makes us sometimes a little inpatient with each other but we realise this would happen and it is not getting out of hand. Also that light at the end of the tunnel is just around the corner so our perseverance is good. We passed through Fort William and eventually found our campsite at Fort Augustus on the shores of Loch Ness. We all hope we sleep well tonight!
Miles today = 81.
