Day 5 - Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9.25 miles)
I had a leisurely start today, breakfast was with Richard at 08:00 which I was persuaded to have a full Scottish cooked breakfast, which was very nice indeed. Then at around 09:00 Richard set off as I think he secretly wanted to catch up the Belgian guys who were sleeping outside in a tent last night. I packed up, paid my bill of which £22 was on alcohol!!

I turn away from the loch shore and head inland for a little while and then come across a bothy. I see that there is a guy in there reading by candlelight. I resist going in and staying as I can't be too far away from my hotel, a warm meal and a comfy bed. It's now time for the head torch to ...

We are spending the night in Oban just 1 1/2 hrs from Fort William. Now you know how I said Karlyn had plenty of advice and little tips to help me during our journey,well she gave me some great advice today. I was going around a roundabout,watching where I was going and traffic coming onto the roundabout. I'm watching this car come on to the roundabout right towards me. The driver is looking right at me. I'm thinking " is he going to stop, I have right of way". He ...
