19th

Today's jaunt is from Glenuig to Ullapool via the east side of Loch Ness to Inverness, then up to Bonar Bridge via Struie Hill andwest along Glen Oykel to Ledmore Junction and down to Ullapool. All in all 186 miles for the day.
Starts off grey & drizzly and first stop is Glenfinnan











You usually have to buy a ticket to go up the monument, but no one about and the doors open so up we go!!! Steve in front and it's a very narrow spiral staircase. The opening to the platform is a square hole at the top of the stairs about 2 foot square- with all the bike gear on Steve can't get through without a squeeze so after all that we turn around and go down again - we chickened out
Stop for lunch just north of Inverness and then pop over to the Falls of Shin to watch the salmon leaping the falls and fail miserably to photo it!!





We're stopping just outside Ullapool at the Ardvreck House B&B. Great location with a view out of the lounge overlooking the town










Owner of B&B takes us into the village, and it's off to the Taste of India for tea. Recommend this Idian, but bit of a crisis when we find out it's cash only, don't take cards. Squire of Epworth lends Al £20 and alls well.
Couple of drinks in the Arch then taxi back to the Ardvreck.
