| the famous Drovers Bear |
Well as we sit in the eccentric bar of the Drovers Inn with our sore feet we can't quite believe that after 26 miles we have made it here!

| crossed lots of these |
To say it was a difficult day is an understatement, we have been scrambling over rocks, climbing what look like mountains (well I am from Suffolk), and seem to have done (via our GPS) 6 miles more than we thought! When we tell all in the pub what we have done, they stare in awe at us, well I think it's that but they also back away as if we are slightly mad, that could be due to the new gait, we have adopted, because of our dodgy hips, burning feet and aching backs.

| Loch Lomond |
We have walked up the whole east side of Loch Lomond, the weather has been kind to us though and we have had amazing views of the loch and seen waterfalls. We always knew that this day was going to be a challenge as the guide book does say the path is difficult but there were times when if a friendly boat had come by he could of named his price to take us the last 7 miles after our late lunch stop at Inversnaid.
As hard as we have found it, we came across 3 cyclists! They were all loaded up with panniers etc. but had just stopped as one of them had fallen, how on earth they got those bikes over rocky tracks barely wide enough, that you had to go sideways, I will never know?
