Day 19 Ben Lui and others!!

The day began with yet another freezing cold bike ride with Alan from Rest and be Thankful to Glen Fyne, a change to the mountain bike and on up the now tarmac track to Glenfyne Lodge, and then up Binn Buidde, the support crew now reduced to Sam, Alan and JC are currently sat in the car park just South of Tyndrum with a very wet and gloomy view of Beinn Dhubcraig. I will update later* thanks for reading the blog guys we had well over 8000 visits to date.

LATER*

Sam and Alan have moved on, a huge thanks for all your help guys hope to see you again soon.

Spyke appeared from the cloud and rain at about 18.15, looking somewhat bedraggled but smiling, the achillies was not so sore, brilliant the remedies are working. After a good deal of soul searching he decided to bike down to the foot of Ben Cruachan, where we spent the night in a tasteful little layby, ready for the push towards The Black Mountains and Glencoe. The alternative was a hot shower at Pinetrees campsite, and top food at The Good Food Cafe in Tyndrum, we settled for JC chicken, with what was left in the stores plus a mountain of spuds!! and a wet wipe.

Spyke then spent a great deal of time writing a blog update which has disappeared into the ether!!!

Hey Ho it will no doubt appear soon.

The "man " left our layby vanishing almost vertically through the forestry that lies along the foot of Ben Cruachan at 07.00hrs with a huge day before him.

Meanwhile I am off for some REALLY exciting supermarket shopping.
