Hope it's going well, although I must say, looking at your schedule and at the weather outside, I'd like to think you're holed up at the bar in the Rowardennan Hotel by now! :wink:

I'm walking Bridge of Orchy to Auch along the West Highland way route this afternoon, although I expect you'll be way past then by the time my bus gets in.
