Day 5 cont...

Well there's a coincidence! We arrived at our destination and there's 'something of interest' , and it happened to be the locally brewed beer!

Despite being the eldest David found a burst of energy today and picked up the pace (probably still excited from last nights game or he'd read up about Kinlochleven in advance and knew there was local beer at the end!!)

All ready for the start of day 5. It's a few degrees colder today. Reaching for woolly hats to protect the bald heads for the first time, well apart from Clive of course. (David still celebrating United's win last night)

Last look back at King's Hotel. A real walker's hostel. No frills but very welcoming.

Crossing the way in style.

The route followed the road for a while

Nice back drop but not our digs for the night thankfully!

Then we started climbing the Devil's Staircase. David, the mountain goat, out in front. I think he must have had a date with the devil.

Looking back down the Devil's Staircase the way we had come. A quick burst from me and I managed to get ahead of Clive, Alan and Paul but David's long gone!

Definitely feeling good today having climbed Devil's Staircase. We took a detour another 150 metres higher to admire the view down Glen Coe. Well worth it but not clear enough to see Ben Nevis. Notice Alan had to stand on a rock to be in this photo!

The route back down. David had to climb down some parts of the descent backwards as it was so steep it wasn't kind to his dodgy knee.

More views from the top!

Our destination for today in the distance. We can almost hear the brewery calling!

We arrived at Kinlochleven and discovered it has it's own brewery. After sampling the local brew we might not be home just yet! Cheers!

Dragged ourselves away from the pub to our B&B for the night. Very nice though a little bit cramped! Poor Paul is in with Clive and I, stereo snoring for him tonight!

The view from our room.

We can't believe the journey is nearly over! Just 14 miles left of our big adventure. The whole experience has been out of this world...where are we going next year boys? Please send in any suggestions....It's always great to hear your comments!
