Day 10 – It feels like cheating

Rowardennan to Drymen. 17.44 miles, 2,949 ft elevation, 28,184 steps

Firstly, can I apologise for any typos on this blog. I am doing it all by mobile and with the limitations of the phone combined with my own IT limitations it’s a surprise any of it makes sense.

First interesting spot today was an old phone box still with the actual phone inside. Much to my disappointment it didn’t work but still makes a change from a stack of second hand books.

Not much else to say on the first half of today’s leg. We followed the shore of Loch Lomond, Schooner had a swim and it rained a bit. I was chasing down the miles for my late breakfast having set off with only a marathon bar for sustenance.

This afternoons walk however was spectacular having climbed Conic hill which I believe is one of the top 10 views in the UK. A panoramic view which I know my photos won’t do justice to but have tried anyway.

On our way down Schooner took interest in a calf and slowly made his way over to say hello. We all got a shock when Mum all hair and long horns popped up out of the grass to say hello. How on earth can something that size hide in the grass…..

Anyway, after all the excitement of the afternoon I got to our campsite only to be told by the farmer that Jonathan had disappeared with two girls to the local pub…. poor souls must have been bored so had to rescue them from his Boris talk and we had a jolly evening talking about the WHW, boots and raincoats.

I knew it was time for bed when I called Kate thinking it was 11:45 only to Ben told it was in fact 8:45. Exciting times……
