Amanda and Rich power through on their way to Land’s End

A 91 mile day. Zonked. First 20 miles out of Fort William were just stunning as the light was reflecting off all the lochs and it felt good to be out early. It had rained all night but we got lucky today.

scotland's stunning countryside

After a quick snack stop at Glen Coe village we headed up over the Glen Coe Pass which at nearly 1200 feet was going to be one of our hardest climbs of the whole trip. We took it steady and got up there fine and the scenery going up beat anything we had seen yet. At the top was a lovely plateau and it felt very wild. We then had a nice 13 mile downhill section.

We stopped at Crianlarich for lunch then continued down to the shores of Loch Lomond which we followed all the way to Dumbarton where we are staying. The loch was amazing and kept us going through a long day on the bikes!
