We left Loch Ness this morning with mist hovering over the grey expanse of water. We picked up the Caledonian Canal into Inverness and bought a new video camera after the last one got run over 3 times (but the tree planting videos weren't damaged)! We then changed the dates for our journey home as we are fitter than we could have ever thought possible and are 5 days ahead of schedule! Therefore we are returning on the 26th august instead of the 31st! So we have 3 days left! The weather was terrible today and we just don't fancy hanging around!! It's freezing! :) Luckily a few thumbs up from passing van drivers keep our spirits up and there is only one road to the end - the A9. Our bikes are now working perfectly - in fact better than when we left - there are some very talented mechanics north of the border!
Tree planting went really well on the Sunday! Our close friends Ronnie, Jules and Gemma came to Loch Ness to support us, actually Ronnie pretty much single handedly planted all the trees by himself, he is the tree planting Don! So thanks Ronnie:)
We are currently around half a stone heavier each - so we have been eating a little too well and the soups in Scotland never fail to satisfy!
With around 116 miles to go we can sniff the end - or is that my socks?
