Day two - Monday 18th

A hearty breakfast of porridge steeped over night (like most of the hills we were going to encounter) followed by fry up with Scottish potato cakes set us up for our next 26 miles.

In came the rain and a route mostly on the road, meant for a hard days slog. At least we had the motivation of camping in torrential rain to keep us going? Bob 'the drives' had managed to get most things erected between showers but unfortunately, the squirrel and tanks wasn't quite fully waterproof. An emergency B&B entry was arranged, only to be denied by such RAF phrases as 'MAN UP' and 'THERE'S NO I IN TEAM'! Plus the fact Bob hadn't erected everything he could have, and there was actually a palatial 2 man canvas waiting to be enjoyed.

Geeky highlight of the day was the short stint on the West Highland Way, would have been much more enjoyable had we been able to see anything!

Total blister count = 12
Blister of the day award again goes to Barry 'The Tank'
