0 3 2 3

It was thirsty work. We ate our picnic luch in a layby on Rannoch Moor ,an eerie place, then descended to Bridge of Orchy, and stopped in the cosy hotel for a refreshing drink. After that the rain settled in and we got a bit damp on the next climb, and descent to Tyndrum. Here we had to stop at Brodies minimarket. I asked for family discount but I think we were too far removed! The rain mostly fizled out at Crianlarich, and we just has damp roads, and misty air as we headed along the side of Loch Lomond. We were too late to get the ferry from Inversnaid, so continued 10 miles to Inverbeg and got the ferry to Rowardennan. John rang us from Killearn and was riding out to meet us. The road from Rowardennan to Milton was horrendous, a mixture of excellent tarmac and huge potholes which almost caught us out a few times. We passed through Drymen, and met John and Sam and who escorted us the last few miles to Killearn.
The following day was a rest day, when we drove into the City and visted the Glasgow Science Centre.
