Day 11. Loch Lomond to Glencoe

Amazing day. Scenery superb. Took some panorama shots. Cycled along A82 most of the day and despite traffic it wasn't too bad. Cycled alongside Loch Lomond this morning before stopping for lunch.

Very gusty in places this afternoon as we cycled up towards the highlands and some huge lorries also threatened to blow us off our bikes but no one did get blown off so all is well. No rain although it threatened rain during the day. Sunshine quite a lot of the day and no problems with midges (yet?).

67 miles today, total 772. Lots of easy cycling today. Road surfaces still give me pins and needles in my hands but it's been amazing cycling today.

Got to Glencoe in good time (before the hostel opened so that's good for us...) so stopped for a pint at the Clachaig Inn. Superb pint of Raven ale....
