Fortunately the weather held out for the first part of the day so we were able to make some early progress. About 1.30 hours from Fort William the rain and wind really picked up. The wind was projected at 25mph and the rain was awful. We carried on for the duration up to Fort William absolutely drenched. At times the side winds were pretty bad so we stopped at Morrisons for some lunch to wait it out. We arrived in Invergarry where we stayed at the GlenAlbynLodge where Pete and Dave signed an England Lions cricket top for Dennis who owned the lodge and who had a large collection of cricket memorabilia.
We enjoyed a nice meal in a nearby hotel where the drinks were rather expensive. The lodge was absolutely superb however and we enjoyed a good nights sleep.
