We headed into fort William on saturday morning to pick up a few last bits and bobs and then headed on our way out of the city. This was by far the busiest road I'd ever cycled in so we stuck close together and took it easy.Most lorries as caravans were great at overtaking us, … Continue reading Fort William to Oban!

Faff Day!
We managed to spend an entire morning lounging around at the bothy, the weather was gorgeous so we say out in the garden with breakfast and cuddles whilst our still dirty laundry hung over the walls.

All the other Fannichs!

Blue skies wonderful sun, and too much … Continue reading Stac Pollaidh

With the tide in we also had … Continue reading Sunsets and Beaches

Yazoo!We were actually tad nervous about seeing everyone as I think we went slightly insane spending a week together in the car!It's been so nice to see everyone, tongue is the flattest area I've ever seen in Scotland and it's riddled with bog! Most of yesterday was spent … Continue reading Towel Day, Ben Hope, Sock wrestling and Goodbyes 😦 😦

5 Fannichs
After camping at the bottom of the hills, (and having a wonderful sunset followed by a dry night) we set off at 7am to climb 5 of the Fannichs.After only 4k or so we realised that Apryl hadn't found the bag of chocolate we'd prepared for the day! The idea of a long day with … Continue reading 5 Fannichs
