After arriving in Inverness at 8.30, we had a quick look around followed by breakfast in a cafe. Jacky took the opportunity to check out the charity shops and stock up on cashmere jumpers for the trip (yes, it's cold up here, and yes, she bought MORE than ONE jumper!!).
We then caught a train to Achnasheen. The excellent cafe there was unexpectedly shut, even more unexpected for the elderly cyclist who was expecting to collect her luggage from there- kindly transported from a youth hostel by some walkers. No sign of her luggage or the walkers. We had a slight delay while Andy taught her how to use her mobile phone.
We then had a lovely rolling ride to Torridon SYHA, the weather only slightly damp, and winds not totally against us.
It's a good hostel with great views of the hills covered in rain and mist. We have beer, wine and curry.
Ha ha, Andy's kilt is not on his kit list but his underpants were. Surely to be truly Scottish it has to be the other way around!!! Are you sure the elderly cyclist looking for odd bits of clothing and trying to use her phone wasn't Jacky? And enough about team blue, what's team citrus doing...?
