A blow-by-blow account of the latest long-distance trek being undertaken (enjoyed??) by Kevin and Julia from Switzerland (where there are lots of mountains) and Anita from Suffolk (where there are none!)

Day 3 - Sunday
Today started with a bit of drizzle but soon turned out warm and pleasant. Last night's accommodation in the Bunkhouse was a big surprise. The building is an old church and the lounge/dining room was upstairs with the original stained glass windows, leather sofas, heavy dining chairs,black cat!! The rooms were as expected with just bunk beds and nothing else. Shower at end of corridor - but we did get clean towels etc. What made it such a surprise was the food and presentation of it. It was worthy of a 5* hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good bar stock! However, what let it down slightly was not being able to get into the lounge until 8 am this morning, Kevin's toast being mouldy , our flask of tea being hot water (4 teabags handed to us installed as we left) and the sandwiches made with white sliced bread but whole slice - not cut into sandwiches! We left Loch Lomond just before lunch and headed into the hills. A little black vole ran across the path between Julia and myself. J and K are complaining because they wanted to attach a bungee to my back so I could pull them along on the flat (only way they say they can keep up with me) but I said only if they carry me up the hills, which they decined!! Now in Crainlarich - just been to pub for a enroute supper. Turning in soon ready for another 13 miles tomorrow.
