Day 4

Wow, day 4 already! And we're off after our night of four star luxury. Only 13 miles today so we allowed ourselves a lie in and set off at 10 am. The main aim of today is to make it to our next B&B in time for the United match this evening.

A big climb started the walk today. Everybody set off at different paces. Dave was striding away up front, followed by Clive. Alan limped along behind in third. I was in forth, blogging as i went. Paul was at the rear using the shorter day for a spot of bird watching (of the twitcher variety, of course!)

On the steps of the hotel ready for the day ahead. However, by the looks of this photo Paul appears to have given up altogether and is catching a lift from Clive. That's what big brothers are for!
Obviously Clive has had enough and Paul has found his feet again! Here he is on the bridge of Orchy.
This was the view from the top of the climb. It was a fantastic view of the mountains around us.

And this was the Loch below.

This was at the highest point so far. We were getting a little to close to the snow!

We stopped here alongside the mountain stream for lunch. Perfect for cooling off sweaty feet!

We climbed and climbed today. The peaks that we looked up to earlier were now all around us. This was the highest point of the day.

This is our hotel for the evening. We made it in good time today, a mere 4 and a half hours of walking. David has bagged his seat in front of the telly for tonight's game, but we spotted the aerial on the way in...there could be sabotage!

The view from our hotel. The scenery just got better and better. In fact it was the best day today...or was it the day before...or the day before that?! The story continues...
