An early start had us with our feet in the water in Oban harbour ready to leave 08.30. A huge crowd composing solely of the slightly crazy Mr and Mrs Wood senior gathered to see us on our merry way, MNDA t-shirts on and the charity pots rattling.
Rain was forecast, thankfully none arrived, and a gentle stroll ensued with the first 13 miles flying by. The second 13 miles became a cross between an endurance race and a game of 'Chicken' as we trudged our way along the only road from the west coast which seemed to have every single weekender on it making their way home!
A final 2 miles on a nice quiet road (which felt like 40) saw us into Jinty's Orchy Bank B&B in Dalmally. All pain was forgotten as Jinty mothered us better. A wonderful place to stay if you are ever in the neighbourhood, open fires solved any issues of maintaining body temperature through the night.
