The day started with a pretty big climb just out of Inverary. Then it was beautiful countryside all day which really helped the miles pass by. Lunch was a late stop today after 60 miles. At this point we were all running on fumes as energy had just completely disappeared
After lunch we made our way to Commandos Hill. Although the principle of doing Lands end upwards is to go with the prevailing winds, we were facing lovely northernly winds. But more on those later!
Commandos hill was amazing. We had a view of Ben Nevis and all the mountains around. From there a hop skip and jump (well 15 miles) to the hostel for the night. Although Adam had assured me that scottish roads were in good condition, he lied. The last 15 miles was picturesque but like cycling on a jackhammer. This was our first time in a hostel and there was some snoring avoidance needed. I will not name names but one person had a 4 bed dorm to themselves! The Discover Adventure crew cooked a hearty dinner of bolongese and we actually had more than 1 drink before bed. As Tom would say: "Awesome"
