Day 2

What a day! Today's challenge was 21 1/2 miles of difficult terrain, probably the hardest day we'll have (we hope so anyway). The journey took nearly 9 hours but once again the views were well worth the pain. Paul started the walk yesterday by talking about taking a detour on the last day and conquering Ben Nevis, however we think the altitude must have got to him and the idea hasn't been mentioned since.

The camaraderie on the walk is fantastic. It's amazing how many people you encounter out here, and everybody has some word of encouragement.

War memorial
The loch at Rowardennan. We stopped here for coffee - 7 miles in and still 14 miles to go. Looks like it's going to be a long one today!

Lunch time over. Time to put those sweaty socks back on. Only 9 miles to go, but we've been told the last 7 are the toughest.

Just one of the many banks of bluebells we keep encountering.

Just to prove I'm on this walk! (The trousers are meant to be shorts!)

Just through Inversnaid - 7 miles to go.

Rob Roy's cave. Thankfully not our digs for tonight!


Last view of Loch Lomond. Not sure whether we're glad to see the back of it! Scenery is spectacular. It's changed in the last mile - definitely more highland.


And finally...we made it! On our first, well deserved, pint of the day. Only 20 miles tomorrow!
