It was a short walk to Kingshouse where we stopped for a photo opportunity. Today's team consisted if the usual 3 plus Nicola, Myra, Daniel, Scott and Levi. It was a pleasant stroll to the bottom of the Devil's staircase where we stopped to top up Frances's caffeine levels, this is a necessity! We all enjoyed our snacks and drinks and the chit chat with all our newfound friends who passed us.
It was the usual cry of onwards and upwards and we tackled that just fine. A bit of a chit chat with Lou & Mike passed a few miles before it was time to pause for lunch. What seemed like a sheltered spot turned out to be a raging wind tunnel which left some of us a tad chilly!
After lunch we marched on a bit and had an interesting time following the hydro power/water pipes and investigating different bits and pieces.
All downhill into kinlochleven where we settled into our very comfortable wigwams and had a much needed shower(some people's were warmer than others! Sorry for hogging the hot water). A few glasses of water later and the usual array of snacks were consumed whilst waiting on Donna & Janice to arrive with Drew who was picking up Nicola & dropping Susan at Glencoe. After Susan returned and we bored the others to death with stories of our week we all headed to the Tailrace Inn. The atmosphere in here was really good as was the food & surprisingly the tap water was lovely so much so we managed to finish off all the supplies of the white variety!! There was a definite last night feeling and we had a great time with those we had met along the way. Quite possibly the funniest parts of the night were Scott's innocent comment and his new found card playing skills with our German friends!
Back to the wigwams where really it should have been bedtime but there was some fizzy water that really could not be left behind!!
All in all another great day. The friends list is just too long now!
