Finding Nessie

Day 18.. Setting off from Fort William, wishing I took a photo of Ben Nevis the previous night when it was clear.. as now with very low cloud and not much to see... Back on to the evil A82 buzzing with trucks and swaying capervans. I was being extra cautious after talking to a lady the previous night who had been hit that day by a passing caravan! Anyway, up the road, with a very helpful tail wind.. and alondside Loch Lochy, which I thought was a particularly amusing name for a Lake, with the equivolent in N.Z being 'Lakey Lake' .. very original.. and up to Fort William where I got my first look at the infamous Loch Ness!! I was on the look out for dear old Nessie as I hugged the Loch for the next 30 miles, but with no luck.. she seemd to be keeping a low profile today, but the frequent touristy attractions, shops and statues were entertaining enough. Now in Inverness after another big day 114km.. my bum doesn't really feel a thing now.. which I am not sure whether to be grateful or worried about, and the legs are holding up fine. Meeting Paul tomorrow who will join me for the last 2 days up the coast to the finish.

There was a young lady named kim
who decided one day she would win
a race from the bottom of England
to cycle her way to Scotland.
She set off alone
Not even a moan, this England
to roam, going solo
So well she has done and
We all say she's 'Won'
a place in our hearts as we've
followed.

Hi Kim,
Go, you good thing, go!
Cheers,
Mike
P.S. Raj,
What's the difference between going out the back door and swanning off to Italy for 5 days? Both mean that you're shirking serious biking and at least going out the back door means you gave it a shot ;-)
