We went up to Dunadd fort, a very significant medieval site where Kings of Scotland were crowned. We stood on the crowning stone and crowned each other!
We pushed on to Oban at a good speed maintaining just below 15 mph clocking 50 miles to lunch. The views of Loch Melfort and Loch Feochan were stunning.
We went over the bridge on to the Fort William road. Mark had gear selection problems so we stopped to find that a link of his chain was split. We fixed this with a repair link and were quickly on our way.
The scenery was stunning and we took lots of pictures and our speed dropped in the scorching afternoon sun. We stopped for a cuppa and finally arrived at the bunkhouse at 7pm. The roads to Corran Ferry were very busy towards the end and a little scary.
There was no hot water so we had cold showers. Not a luxury!
