Day 2 done !

SCB - so day 2. Learnt some lessons from day 1 - it rains in Scotland so wet weather gear a good idea. Didn't realise though we were crossing rivers today. Waterproof socks can't handle that. But now in fort Augustus and dumped wet kit. About to tuck into beers and food. Top day.

JS - SCB and CT in the same room at b&b following a 'special request' for a double bed...to be fair the proprietor didn't bat an eye, and I am banished to a single room on account of some minor snoring issue... 92.3km today, lots of 'hike a bike'. Lots of silence at the table - every single story even remotely related to cycling was shared at the RAC, was repeated last night, and there's not much chat left on the mental shelves...

CT - some other moments include

Ash powering up a hill (simon in the background)

And awesome Scottish view. 

Observing the canal (only 10km to go)

Arriving into Fort Augustus. Not a puff of wind and the sun decides to make a welcome arrival

The 8 locks at Fort Augustus (rubbish photo)

All in all a challenging day. Proper offloading and terrifying descents on water rock!

Tomorrow brings our biggest climb (750m) first thing and another 80km (ish) up and across to Aviemore. 

The boys are tucking into their second bowl of cheesy nachos. 

We must remember to stock up properly with food. Bonking isn't fun!
