Short drive over to Tyndrum, a couple of road problems one with a 4 vehicle crash. Bad weather so the umbrella got a bit of use.
Next morning still wet so out with the foul weather gear and a short 2 hour walk on the West Highland Way, a visit to the Green Welly Shop then Fish and Chips for tea, nice for a change.

Raining so unhooked the van parked up near town for a wander and coffee then drove up to Nevis Range for a Picnic and Coffee. This place is too expensive now beware £3.00 parking and the coffee and cake is just acceptable.

Raining again so unhooked again and walkabout again in Fort William. Sun arrived in the afternoon so out with the bikes for a cycle to Corpach and the 10 rise locks for yet another coffee.
