Day 4: Invergarry

Today has been quite exciting, cycled passed Loch Ness, which was cool! I’m afraid I didn’t spot Nessie, but then my eye sight isn’t amazing. The road from Beauly was rather nice a steadily undulating snake, twisting in a lazy fashion. The morning was a bit more up and down for 12 miles, ending in a 16% hill decent for well over half a mile, thank god I got the breaks overhauled!! I must have been doing 30 mph for a good portion of it. tonight I’m sampling a youth hostel on the outskirts of Invergarry, which is a curious little place at the end of Loch Ness. Witha beautiful River that flows through and many forest features.

Tomorrow I’m heading onto Barcaldine on the West Coast of Scotland, which will be about 58 miles, my longest ride yet. Before going further south later in the week towards the isle of Arran. The Weather looks mixed again with more head winds yet again. But I’m looking forward to seeing the West coast.

I will post up some images later today. Peace.
