Day 3 The Way is Easy but the Body Does Not Agree

Slept well last night at the Drovers Inn and after a top breakfast we set off for what was described as an easier day (good!). Weather has been warm and with only a couple of rain showers what an earth can we complain about??
By the railway


Well the body has rebelled, after what we put it through yesterday, and has taken it in turns between the dodgy knee, burning toes, aching shoulder and throbbing calves. Lunch was spent with our boots off slapping on Compeed plasters like we have shares in the company, moaning and groaning like a couple of old women.
We have walked alongside the river and waterfalls, with the railway on the other side, annoyingly even with these landmarks we made a wrong turn so did an extra half mile. My sister's feet were killing her after lunch so she quickened the pace with me dropping behind but we met a few people today, so have been busy chatting to make the miles go quicker.
At about 5pm after 21 miles we arrived at Bridge of Orchy where we are staying in a hotel, with a bath!!! This was most welcome, and the food has been the best so far. I just need a really good night's sleep now. 

we did share it!

    Hope you made it to Kinghouse intact!

    Your friends from Barrhead are currently sitting in a pub at Kinlochleven (remember how to pronounce it!) having endured a difficult second half to the day. Devils staircase was fine but its a long walk into Kinlochleven and I'd switch my GPS off if I were you...take your time and enjoy the views.
    Hope the weathers with you and we'll be looking in with keen interest over Days 5 & 6. Remember the power of "Magners".
    Best G & M
