Day 11 Fort Augustus to Golspie approximately 83 miles


Today saw the team start off up the banks of Loch Ness at around 915am
 
 
they kept their eyes peeled for any sightings of the famous Scottish legend.....
 
 
oooops sorry no wrong one !
 
 
........Wee Nessie, but to no avail !
 
Their journey would see them cover some 83 miles to Golspie although the roads have seen better days !!
 
 
Steve sent me some photo's and a message, seems a jovial atmosphere is being had in the saddle ! Steve said,
'a picture looking up loch ness looks beautiful'
 

 
He added ' Our landlady recommended the scenic route, she did not mention the five mile climb straight after the full Scottish breakfast when we started. Long ride 83 miles I can't believe it will be all over tomorrow. Would have been in sooner but we took yet another scenic route and a short ferry across the Cromarty firth only to discover that Ian had left his day rucksack on a bench before the ferry so he had to go back for it. We did the decent thing a waited we did laugh when they charged him a further £5 each way!! '

Jokes aside, life must be getting hard for the boys.
They found this stating 'Its amazing what you find in rubbish bins in Scotland.' 
 I ask the question why were they looking in bins........................       
 
 
      
 I suppose everyone needs a hobby !

Tonight will be the last night to prepare themselves for one more day in the saddle, Steve decided it was about time he shaved off his lucky beard !
