Here I am again

I am back at Loch Lomond for the third time, and installed at the Inversnaid Hotel. When I was here last Easter I had to take a rest day because of back trouble. When I returned to the Loch last October, Storm Ashley meant that the ferries were not running and I could not get to this side. This time I took a taxi from Dumbarton to make sure of getting here.

Tomorrow I will have my third chance to walk the seven miles from here to Inverarnan, which will mean I then have a complete unbroken line from Land's End to Fort William. Luckily the bus to Fort William stops in Inveranan, so I will be ready to start the final stage on Tuesday morning. My cousin Hugh, who walked with me in the summer of 2023, will be walking with me as far as Inverness.

Today's journey was uneventful - both taxis and all three trains on time. No chance for a proper meal today so I shall be making the most of tomorrow's hotel breakfast.
