Fort William

· Schotland

A ferry and then a sleeper train, with a short wander around London in the sunshine between train connections. We've arrived in sunny Scotland ready to get back on the bikes for a couple of weeks.

Crossing the Loch

· Schotland

After stocking up with a few groceries in Fort William we decided to take the little ferry across the Loch as the road on the other side looked like a nice place to start our ride.

End of Day 1

· Schotland

We've been spoilt today - amazing weather, stunning scenery, and lovely cycle tracks. Really glad we took the west shore along the first section of Loch Linnhe - the quiet roads and wildlife more than made up for the slightly longer route.

Lucy is unable to cycle past a pottery sign without a quick pitstop!

A few more hills today, and sunnier than we were prepared for! We're in the beautiful port town of Oban this evening, ready to catch the ferry out to Western Isles tomorrow morning.
