Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy 7 miles

I had a good night's sleep but woke up very early, too much stuff rattling around my brain. Our normal routine resumed, we took our bags to the collection point and then headed out for breakfast at the cafe/chippe/restaurant next door to the Ben Lui (we had wanted to go there for breakfast but it was closed). The breakfast was ok, definitely not the worst I've ever had, and the coffee was good.

We had a lazy start as we were only walking 7 miles, our shortest day, so we went and did some tourist shopping, Meg got some stuff to treat Chris' blisters. We also bought some snack supplies at the Green Welly shop and set off.

The rain was fairly steady and in fact didn't stop until after we arrived at the Bridge of Orchy Hotel, it was quite misty as well. so, I didn;t stop too often to take photos. The path was fairly flat so we made good time, I arrived at the hotel in 2 hours and 45 minutes. We arrived too early for our rooms but went to the very comfortable restaurant and ordered lunch, it was very good but a bit expensive, but they did let us int our room an hour early. We were in one of the new lodges beside the hotel and it was fabulous, modern, compact, very clean, with comfy beds and a great shower.

We had a lovely dinner, and then off to bed. Chris and Meg are getting a taxi in the morning (kindly organised by the hotel staff) to knock off about 5km from the 20km walk, whilst Kathleen and I will walk from the HotelLes mer
