Fort William - Connell. 42 miles.
A few spots of rain, some sun and very cold. Before we set off we went to a bike shop and had new brake pads fitted at the rear. Just to be on the safe site, as we have used them extensively down the hills. We had to set off again on the infamous dangerous A82 and met many cyclist going the other way. They all had big grins on their faces as they are getting nearer their goal. We stopped at Ballachulish for refreshments, then went on the A828 and were soon on a new cycle path(no.78) all the way to Connell. The cycling on the path was really good, it went through woods, past Loch Linnhe and the wind was in our favour, n.w. Having had a day off yesterday felt really beneficial. The room we have in the B&B tonight looks out on to Loch Etive. There is just a road between us and the water. Stunning view!
Connell is a small village and is in the area covered by Oban. Oban is the gateway to the western small isles and ferry services will take you to and fro. Some end to Enders use some of the isles to JOG.
p.s. I just want to mention the wonderful fish soup I had for lunch. Lovely!
