Hot and Hilly
Day 16.. I was watching the weather report last night and I think it was saying that this has been the hottest July in over 80 years... yippee because today I had to climb three big passes. I spent a while mentally preparing myself via procrastination techniques.. long leisurely breakfast.. some morning T.V, slow gear packing, before facing the day. A good climb to Kilmartin for a stop and look around some famous stones then another climb to Kilmelford for a stop at the shop for supplies and then a final climb into Oban.. I was a very sweaty girl by the end of the day and pleased to get over the last pass. Gorgeous views from the tops down into the Lochs. Today a sensible 63km... I have now covered 1418 km since leaving lands end and am planning to finish on Sunday, with Paul to hopefully join me on the weekend.. so I am starting to get confident that I can actually finish this thing!

Woohoo! You go girl! I am so impressed Kim. You're nearly there! Well done. Can't wait to hear more about the trip on your return. I hope the last leg of the journey goes speedily!

Hi Kim!
Mammoth effort! I have just come back from 5 days in italy so have been out of the loop. I see you've ridden almost to the top of the country since i "went out the back door" (according to cheeky Mike W!) Good effort lass, enjoy the last of the beautiful scottish scenery.
