Day 2: Drymen to Rowardennan, 14 miles

The walking started to get a bit more interesting today. It was up and around Conic Hill and then we headed off along the shores of Loch Lomond. Which reminded me a lot of Lake Taupo - so it was a bit like walking at home!

Had a lovely lunch at Balmaha, and then headed off for the second stretch. Which was loads of up hill and down dale, so we were knackered by the end of the day. Unfortunately for me, Craig and Julia our B&B was one mile away from where Kevin and Owen were staying - also the only place for dinner so we had to walk an extra 2 miles to get food...

Kevin and Owen were upgraded at their hotel and ended up in this fantastic chalet, with Sky TV, big huge bedrooms and plasma tv's as well. After our extra one mile walk we weren't best pleased... The actual hotel was pretty dire tho with bog-standard pub grub so our experience wasn't one of the highlights of the trip - did get to use our headtorches on the walk back home - there weren't any streetlights!
