Stage 1

The 3 peaks challenge is over for this year. After a busy day of moving everything to the new flat and tidying, I was collected by the rest of the team (Al, Barbera and JP) with all my kit and we headed off to the hotel somewhere near Loch Lomond. The hotel was ok, except they had lost our booking (apparently the website doesn't work or some other nonsense) so after a bit of complaining we headed to the bar. First we sat outside, then near the door, then inside, gradually moving further and further away from the damn midges. With breakfast planned for 0700 we retired to bed.

We awoke at 0645 for a quick wash with no illusions about staying clean over the next day, then headed off to find breakfast. 0700, no sign of life. 0715, no sign of life. At 0730 we finally got some food, already 30 minutes late in leaving. Then it was back in the car for another few hours to Fort William.

More later....
