Up about 7am breakfast , 3 X Weetabix went down very well.

Left the bike with the tent as the start was less than 20 m from the tent.
Started 8.45am

The initial start is relative fine as it is a stair case of a path.
Slightly hard in places but on the whole a nice easy walk.

Like the last few days , very nice sunshine , in fact a bit to hot.

Back at the camp site for 1.30pm and a cup of tea
Packed up 2pm and back at the car for 2.20pm , what I ride down, glad the brakes worked.

Extra Notes:
Back at the car where to stay , after 2 nights was starting to smell.
Found a very nice Hostel (I dont normally do Hostels) Inveraray Hotel , £36 for first night , via Booking.com
Within a few hrs decided to stay a 2nd night £32.50 direct
Had to move room but no hardship.

Nice room to my self , ok shared WC / Showers but not a issue.
The guy running it said he could wash my hiking gear free of charge and have dry by the morning.

Went to The Inveraray Inn
Wow nice food.
Cullinan soup , very nice
Fish and chips , nice
Sticky toffee pudding a bit small but very nice
All washed down with some nice white wine

Next day had a rest day
Wonder around the village some nice nice small shops.

Inveraray jail was charging £13 for entry what a rip off so gave them a skip
Inveraray castle was charging £14.50 and they had a load more to see , really nice house / castle

Then walk up to Dun Na Cuaiche , 40 min up and about 30min down , it was very hot going up.
Nice views of the village

By chance Kenny was also staying that night at the same hostel.
So went out with him for supper The George Hotel , think Inveraray Inn is better for food but still nice.
washed down with a few beers , then had a walk to Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa , about 1/2 mile for a night cap and then back to the Hostel.
