Scotland is living in 1982. Fort william was the first town of real civilisation although it was impossible to get a USB (yew-es-bay) cable let alone a charger for a Blackberry. Irn-bru, Tunnocks and chocolate tea cakes all round. I stayed in a guest house with a back view of Ben Nevis although all I saw was a misty landscape.
The route down to Loch Lomond was long and through vast valleys, good riding, clear weather albeit overcast. Had an early start so made good time to Lomond and into Glasgow. I spent 2 hours trying to get through the hellish Scottish city.. Haha nah it wasn't that bad although signs all seem to lead back to the Centre, it was like being caught in some recurring dream of Harry Ramsdens and white dog poo.
I've escaped the mess and got to Cambuslang direction Carlisle. It's 8pm and I'm going to keep going until my legs give out. Long gone is the fresh air of the highlands, just the acrid taste of bus and car exhaust.
I stopped to ask some boys the direction out about an hour ago and noticed that my Sigg water bottle had gone when I stopped here.. Damn they're good. I'll update again before I bed down and see If I can get another charge later for the phone.
