LEJOG Day 7 - Highland high

Wow! What a day, a beaut of a day. Clear blue sky helped us to forget the inconvenience of an icy North Easterly wind.




We climbed out of Moffat towards Glen Coe and sliced through the head on gale inspired by the beautiful surroundings.

 






Coffee required a quick health and safety chat in relation to road safety and then we were on our way cycling along the numerous lochs.









Ben Nevis was still capped in snow as the lithe athletes sped past towards lunch. Some of the fuel tanks ran out before our nutritional specialist, Jo arrived.





No navigational skills required for the last leg of the day, just follow Loch Ness and then pick the meanest mother of a climb and then you will be 17 km from the ice cold beer that awaits.




After 188km, bodies were tired but minds and hearts we deliriously happy after an awesome day's cycling. Tomorrow is the final day and will be joined by the Regiment Sergeant Major of the Black Watch and some of his squadies for the final assault.
