Hitting the Highlands

Day 17..Its raining!! well I suppose I've been pretty lucky so far and nice to have some relief from the hot weather. Heading off from Oban (very cool town, and very friendly backpackers).. on the A828, which is a nice busy road that I will have to get used to for a while and up the road amongst stunning mountains on one side and big Lochs on the other. Winding around the Lochs for a while then enjoying a coffee and scone overlooking the Stalker Castle, which sits on a little Island out from the shore... then on to where I managed to get my first puncture of the trip thanks to a friendly wee nail. Now I am pleased that I know how to fix these thinngs and didn't think that some hunky motorist would swiftly come to my rescue.. cos they didn't!!! but not to worry, back on the road again past the sign to say I am now in the Highlands and over a few bridges to Fort William, the destination of the day.. very interesting town on the edge of Loch Linnhe.. but unfortunately still raining! Today 80km.
