Early reveille so that we would be up and out of the house by 0600, having told Forest & Dawn that they should expect us at The Radisson, Manchester Airport at about 0730. It was a Monday morning, of course, but the traffic was not too silly. We arrived at the hotel only 10 mins late, and got away again by 0800.
Next stop The Rooster in Penrith for a standard full trucker's breakfast. A gobsmacked F&D were unable to imagine what the 'large' might have looked like. We did extremely well, and only one and a third Cumberland sausages remained on the plates.
Two more hours up the M6/M74 to arrive at Milgavie, where our large bags were dropped off at our second night's B&B. No point humping them to Fort William, only to hump them back down on the train on Day Two.
Finally on from Milngavie to Fort William to check in at http://www.achinteefarm.com/ for the first night. Tomorrow we take the scenic train ride back down over Rannoch Moor and along Loch Lomond to the WHW start.
