Early morning walk before leaving Tyndrum then it started to rain for our travel down no rush so stopped for a coffee at The Artisan Cafe. Good journey down through Callender The Trossachs.
Not much happening today so caught up with washing and had a chat with Vida the owner of the site who proudly showed us her framed picture that we did for her some years ago it looks FAB.
6 – 8 September 2021 Tyndrum
Booked in early but they have changed the booking in time so Mike was about to give us hell until he saw who it was and he bent the rules for us as usual. (Thank you Mike) Fish and Chips from The real Food Cafe £20.70.
Walked all our usual trails down to the Artisan Café for a lovely coffee and cake a 2 hour round trip but worth it we got there just as it was opening thankfully and just after we had been served a hen party arrived!.
Up the woods, up the fells on The west Highland Way The views above the early morning mist were stunning and of course the spiders webs again and, how lovely to see no one had closed the gate we spotted 25 years ago, evening walk to the North Station. Very disappointed we could not buy any Cow Poo sweets in The green Wellie and it was too busy for a coffee.
Still not a lot of water about this is usually a raging torrent.
4 – 5 September 2021 Fort William
2 Days cycling to Gondolas Aanoch Moor for the best coffee in Fort William the forest road is still closed but no work is been carried out over the weekend you just have to navigate parts of trees grass and dirt.
It was so quite this morning you could imagine been the only 2 people on earth FAB. Managed to see more mountain bikes this morning. Our usual shopping top up and evening walks. Today was The Glenco Marathon we always miss the start as we are up and gone when it starts at 0900.
As always a rescue on the Ben while we are here…. Saturday tracked the helicopter on flight tracker.

A new cycle route this morning out towards Blar a' Chaorainn a good cycle but due to the steep hills we actually thought we were taking the bikes for a walk rather than cycling. Coffee at The Wildcat Fort William had read the reviews and it looked OK until we got our coffee small cups the first inch was froth then the second 2 inch hardly Quenched our thirst £5.90 then the usual shopping trip on the bikes then a bit a sun bathing and evening walk in the Glen.

Cycle this morning up the Great Glen Way by the canal as far as Gairlochy swing Bridge 22 miles round trip again we love this cycle (its flat) great to see the boats and the young people canoeing / camping what fun for them.
