Day 5

Before breakfast on Day 5 and we have finally been able to get on the internet and see the good work that Rhian and Kate have been doing on the blog on our behalf. One slight correction, it was a walk of a mere 75 yds that Paul turned down the other day.

So today is our short one just nine miles. We're going to start prompt and get it over with and hopefully find something of interest to do at our destination, Kinlochleven. Today takes us to the highest point of the route, through Devil's Staircase and up to 550m, including a short, sharp climb.

Highlights of the walk so far, obviously the stunning and ever changing scenery; good accommodation, food and beer; the different people we have met along the route.

Sorry got to go, we can smell the bacon.

Actually, decided on the kippers, lovely they were too! The maitre de was a real character, fussing around like an old mother hen. You weren't allowed to sit down until you had been to the cereal table and a new waitress was told off for not putting a jug of coffee on the table, a punishable offence apparently. All the guests were smiling at one another. A group of Belgians found it highly amusing.

Forgot another highlight earlier, the single malt whiskies we have been sampling each evening. Right, I think everyone is ready, will be sending more messages later. Looks a bit cloudier today. The peaks are not visible, hopefully they will lift as we go along.
