Day 3 - Inverarnan to Tyndrum (12.4 miles)
... day, l was all checked in by 14:30. I showered, bought an Irn-Bru from the hostel reception and was made a cup of tea by a lady who was playing her penny whistle at the hostel while she was waiting for her husband and daughter to come back from a walk in the mountains. I was very pleased to put my feet up for a while and have a nice warm drink. Richard turned up after about an hour, he did the usual routine too. Shower and a quick change of clean (evening) ...
Day 2 - Balmaha to Inverarnan (22.4 miles)

Great afternoon chatting, with a few quiet drinks. We leave the relos to go for a stroll around Oban. What a beautiful day, sun's out so we have an ice-cream and stroll around ...
A trip out to sea - a SEAFARI
... at the top of a hill, but unfortunately it was quite a distance and he was possibly aware of even us way down on the water because he stepped back so all we could see was his antlers. We saw another stag later in the journey but he too faded into the woods quite quickly. They were living on an island that was owned by a nobleman who keeps a large manor house there just for his holidays and hunting trips. All the small islands we saw are privately owned ...
