Day 14 Part two
Everyone scattered into small groups and did their own thing (free time!). Jules, Dave and Geoff found a sweet guest house and then went for a walk in the wilderness finally finishing up at Tyndrum Fire station where they met Chief Brodie (who also runs the local shop). He heard about our campaign and donated a scottish tenner. Owen, Shell, Rosie and Bob went for a spin to Glen Coe checking out the route for day 15, they found a mobile chippy ' The flying scotmans chippy van' (two portions of chup's!). The chuckle brothers (Lance and Neil) played cards with Stevie J and it got ill-tempered as Lance cheated. It appears that the three of them are having a great laugh, especially at night time as they share their inner most secrets!!
The evening saw everyone round the dining table in Tyndrum lodge hotel for a cavery dinner, there we met Kenny and Michael who are cycling from JOG to LE on a tandem in 9 days. They looked shattered as they are doing over 100 miles a day with one car as back up. Good luck lads, we wish you all the luck in the world.
We see on the weather map that England is getting a soaking, well we in Scotland are enjoying cloudy but dry days. Hopefully the sun will shine on us as we head into the Highlands through the mountains. The camp spirit is high and in relative good health. Fort William is our destination tomorrow and everyone is looking forward to the Highland views. Och hi the noo for now!

Nice to hear all your reports. Has Big Dave bought any whiskey yet, as nothing has been mentioned?! Would love to see you all get hold of some kilts and pose for photos in them!!
It has indeed been absolutely bucketing it down here! Went down Witney station earlier to attend a school fete to find it'd been cancelled as the school field is a marsh and they've moved the fete indoors...
Glad to hear all is going well, keep firing me photos via mobile and I'll keep uploading them. Site is very popular especially the message board, and we now have over 80 members on our Facebook Group!
Well done everyone and see you after the ride :)
