We expected today to be rather less stunning than yesterday. Much of the earlier part was just that, because we had been so completely spoilt yesterday. Today's first half shared its route with the A82, the Oban railway line and electricity pylons. At each point we could see at least one of those. Then the road turned away to the east as we climbed higher to enter a forest, and all was well until we dropped down again to enter Tyndrum and find our B&B, which wasn't the best. Put it down to experience, I guess.
A roadside diner provided us with our dinner, Irn Bru and some of the best haddock ever tasted - only Mallaig has surpassed it - then back to the B&B to find that the central heating had been turned off. It's mid-September and it's been chucking it down for days and days in this neck of the woods, so you can probably imagine how welcoming the bed linen feels at this juncture. We have higher hopes for tomorrow's accommodation.
