We enjoyed a lovely (relaxing) dinner with the team at Tyndrum last night. It was easy to see how so many people hobble to Tyndrum then go no further! However, spirits have remained high and we are determined, as ever, to complete the challenge.
Aching muscles, tired bodies were evident, but we all felt slightly recharged after making use of our home for the night – drying out our clothes and taking advantage of the nice, therapeutic showers!
Donning our waterproofs yet again, we set off this morning for the daunting 21 miles to Kinlochleven, where we all look forward to relaxing at accommodation prior to the last leg. We have encountered impressive wilderness and wildly beautiful scenery – with the highlights being the misty Rannoch Moor, the notorious ‘Devils Staircase’ with its dramatic backdrop of Glencoe and the first spot of sun in four days!
We were delighted to receive a £100 donation today from the King’s House Hotel, Glencoe, who had heard about our cause. We stopped for a lovely lunch at the hotel and received a wonderful welcome.
The team was relieved to see the picturesque town of Kinlochleven and descend down into it, where we will be resident for our last night. The end seems closer and the team is feeling extremely proud of what we have achieved so far.
Tomorrow, for our last leg, we will be joined by rugby legend, Scott Hastings – which will be a great boost to the team. I should imagine I will get through the day on adrenaline, but no doubt it will be tough.
One more day to go…
