Short but sweet today due to various technical gremlins.
Less rain than yesterday but mainly dull, however Richard and Ade able to appreciate the beauty of the HIghlands, including cycling alongside Loch Lomond ....whether it was the high road, or the low road taken, I'm not sure...but I believe the banks were bonnie.
JOhn and Val (Richard's parents) arrived this afternoon, conned into the holiday in Scotland that they'd talked about, to coincide with carrying bike paniers and eventually transporting bikes home! All staying at Strathfillian House B & B, Tyndrum.
Fun tonight as I received a call from our credit card fraud dept, while at Nirvana..so a phone call standing outside in the carpark in my dressing gown and flip flops to try and resolve it. Looks like something weird has been going on and the cards cancelled...which explains why the local pub tonight declined the card when Richard tried to pay. Hey, good old bank of Mum and Dad...
So haven't managed to have an in depth chat tonight beyond "did you spend £165 last night in an unknown town?"; I'll complete the story of today's travels when Ispeak tomorrow. (his mobile was working but has gone on strike again tonight, which doesn't help either!).
A weird little story...Tim, Richard's brother who lives in the US, was on business in Paris this week; he reckons that he flew over north Wales one day, and yesterday over southern Scotland, so was musing that he could well have flown over a little speck on a bike far below. Probably nowhere near, but nice to imagine.
Thanks hugely to everyone for their lovely messages and comments and texts; I am relaying them to Richard who has not been able to access the web as much as he had imagined.

Jack and Jill have just climbed Le Alp de Huez, one of the steepest peaks in the Alps on their tandem.
"Phew, that was a tough climb" said Jack, leaning over, breathing hard. "That climb was so hard, and we were going so slow, I thought we were never going to make it."
"Yeah, good thing I kept the brakes on," said Jill, "or we'd have slid all the way back down!"

I hope today's weather was an improvement on the rain yesterday and that you got some good views of the scenery as you made you way north.
Getting Mum and Dad to settle the account in the pub after you "took them out" for dinner; a classic ruse.
