Light Work Day

The culvert tunnel for walkers provided by British Railways

Invoranan to Cranlarich - 6 1/2 miles

Today was a fairly easy hike. We didn't start out until 10:00 a.m. It
was easy terrain compared to the day before. The scenery was
beautiful, the day cool, and we hiked in sunshine with occasional
overcast. To be honest, I prefer the cool overcast days. It is very
muggy here, so when the sun comes out, it is very hot! The most
difficult part of the hike today was the last 15 minutes heading down
to Cranlarich! All down hill on a road with very large rocks. An
obstacle course, to be sure!

Since the West Highland Way is a very popular hike, at each place we
stop there is a place to get a stamp to show we made it to that
specific location. We got the book in Milgavie, the official starting
point of the hike. So we are building the stamps in our book and when
we get done, we will have a full book! A nice record of our stops
along the way.

Tomorrow we head to Tyndrum, which is about 6 1/2 miles.
Unfortunately, we have to go back up that awful hill we came in on to
get down to Cranlarich! 15 minutes, or more, to get back to the
starting point! Yes, gripe gripe. I just don't like re-doing what
I've already done!

We think we'll probably be able to get on line there, so hopefully, we
won't miss a blog day. On we walk!
