The most glorious day. A mostly decent cycleway along the shores of Loch Lomond - until it deteriorates into a cinder track. We ride along the lake for a staggering 26 miles. It makes Windermere look like a puddle!
Then lunch, here at the Drovers Inn…
The other Jolly Boys reckon this resembles me in a morning? Surely not. I like to think I give off this kind of aura ALL of the time…!
Not as hard as this guy though….
Mountain biker. No road. No path. Harder than all of us all put together. Or madder. Onto to Glencoe. Want to feel small, insignificant? This is the place. Unbelievable in scale. Absolutely massive. Cycling through this vast valley, it feels like you’re about to be swallowed up.
Drama. In fact they filmed Harry Potter here. Hagrid’s Hut. Now long gone, but the pub where the film crew got fed and watered is still here.
Thank God!
