Needlees to say, there was a bit of damp in the air, and just before I set off, I remembered to replace the spring washers on me front disc.
Also had a barney with Victor Meldrew, so I thought: Bollox, I'm going.
First stop was Lancaster Services, just to check nothing had worked loose. Couldn't figure out if this structure was propped up from the bottom, or held up from the top
So anyway, onwards and upwards - after a strange encounter in Carlisle - I booked a YHA bed in New Lannark, and headed up tae glasgae on the M74, where naturally enough it rained, but I decided not to stop to take a picture of the Jag stuffed into the armco.
Brief pitsop, luckily, a gentleman always carries and umbrella.
Yoof Hostels don't have bars and normal stuff like that, so after doing some break dancing with some scouse hikers, I headed to the hotel next door for snack and a pint.
That night, I shared a room with with a 25stone cabdriver from Utrecht. "I haf an apology choo make my frien, I shnoore quide a bit you know, yes?"
I just smiled "Wait till you get a load of me"
Away on up, I had to stop for the obligatory Loch Shots.
Loch Lomond
The Auld Gnarly Tree of Loch Lomond
Stopping off at the green welly, I encountered another hard core RTW type, this bloke makes Tiff look like Ewan McGregor.
The only time I saw him sober all weekend
Next stop, through Glen Coe to Fort Bill, and a swifty at the The Lochy, after picking Loo's bike up.
Ben Nevis on the right
