Day 2 - Milgavie to Drymen by foot - 12 miles
... distasteful walk past a sewage treatment plant. We eventually made it to our first campsite at Easter Drumquassie Farm, just outside of Drymen, and stayed in what they call a wigwam hut - basically just a conical kind of shelter with a sleeping platform ...
Day 18 - On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomon

Day 27 and our macabre lunch
... say, breakfast the next morning was as stark and soulless. We have now walked out of the woods, so to speak. Drymen has a post office and a few shops, meaning that we are now back in some form or civilisation. This is the first ...
Day 71 - Somethings afoot Watson
... the last of the long distance sign posted walks for the entire journey. The terrain is pleasant but not that interesting all the way to Drymen, the end stage for the day. This is maybe a good thing, as I'm really not doing that well by this time, and ...

just a catch up

Milngavie - Drymen
DAY 2 - Friday 19"' May 2002 (Milngavie - Drymen). Got up around 7:30. Showered and packed and down to orange juice, cereal and a fry up - the joys of a full English breakfast. Then a little while later all ready to go and waiting in the hallway while ...
