The Ride - Day 9 (17th May '06)

Today was a long one. 96 miles and our arrival in the Highlands. We started with an 8 mile climb (which was nice!) and then a hurtling descent along the shores of Loch Awe and then on to Loch Linnhe. We stopped for lunch at Ballaculish and then continued on the A82 to Fort William. We saw the tip of Ben Nevis and continued on before taking a few photos at the Commando memorial at Spean Bridge. Just another tough 12 miles to go before we arrived at the Youth Hostel on Loch Lochy. No telly to watch the footie but our leaders cooked us up a Scottish treat of Haggis in Whisky sauce served with Neaps and Tatties. Could it be Porridge for breakfast per chance?
