Day 3 Update

No PC available here in Tyndrum so am sending using blackberry. We left Fort Augustus later than would have liked as breakfast did not start until 0830. A huge breakfast was served, only for Joe to say he felt sick afterwards. We both felt very tired and did not really get into the ride until after lunchtime. We had haddock and chips for lunch in Fort William and met a solo end to ender who lives in Falmouth, a school teacher at Hayle school. He will complete at John O Groats on Sunday. We had a massive up Glen Coe in the rain, luckily the wind behind us. The road was very busy which was scary at times. We could not see the tops of the mountains as they were covered in clouds. We were both wet and tired, and the ascent just went on and on. My estimated and planned mileage have consistently been lower than the actual mileage. We completed 80 hard miles today and arrived in Tyndrum at 1915. The landlady filled us up with homemade cake and cups of hot tea. She even took all our wet clothes to dry including my cycle shorts which are hanging as there are the remains of a handful of Doctor Moulins Minty Botty lard in the gusset (for those not in the know this prevents saddle sore) and believe me having completed 235 miles in 3 days it is sore!!!!! Tomorrow will see us descend past Loch Lomand and through Glasgow to Strathaven.
