Quick report as i am running late this morning.
Leaving Fort William was delayed due to the heavens above opening and dumping down all the rain god could muster.
Realising we could be waiting for ever, we decided to make a dash for it and get wet, very wet in fact.
First half of the morning involved a dirt cycle track alongside the Loch. This is when you realise that mudguards are great things to have on your bike, even if they do look a bit gay. Dave doesn't have any on his and looking at the perfect strip of mud and sand applied to his back was highly amusing.
Stopped at Fort Augustus for lunch, rain still hammering down. Decided big pudding was in order prior to setting off. God decided it was enough punishment for the day, stopped the rain, so off we went.
Went for a look at Urquart Castle, picture above. This is situated on Loch Ness and the castle the BBC uses as part of their adverts.
Started Nessie hunting, but nothing going on today. Not even a glimpse. Sadly dissapointed.
Onwards in the sunshine to Evanton, staying at a beatiful B&B.
Mileage quite high yesterday and brake blocks look as though they have seen better days now. Will they last for two more days?
