Keen to get on the road. Part 3 or 4 of the trip, day 1 for Tom and another departure shot. We quickly made our way through the streets of Glasgow, not many Scots up at 8 am on a Sunday. We were soon to hit the bike paths which were as convoluted as a bowl of spaghetti, winding their way through new highways and industrial estates. We finally popped out on the out skirts of Glasgow and briefly stopped for Tom to mend a flat.
Then off to Loch Lomond. The rain started and then the weather closed in. Even Tom finally gave in and put on the gortex. Lunch in the rain and the up to then Loch Lomond info centre which resembled more of a shopping complex. We then took the loch Lomond cycle way up the side of the Loch. Lovely and fast. The destination that night was to be somewhere on the West Highland Way. This became Invernan which sits right on the walk way and where we were going to stat our journey tomorrow. Beautiful campsite, with shelter for camps, shop and pub. It was situated in the valley beneath a beautiful water fall. Peter and Bridgette spent the evening exploring the hill and water fall before being driven back to camp by then infernal midges. Nice beer and cards in the pub.
