79 miles today (786 miles so far)
As Jim snoozed, Tim was punished for his industriousness when it began to rain heavily as he was taking down his tent. Once the shower had subsided, his inner tent was fairly well saturated with water. Jim had his share of misfortune when half-way down a steep decent the rack holding all his kit fell off his bike. Despite a hasty re-build we were forced to catch a later ferry than planned, arriving back on the mainland at 1pm, having ridden only 15 miles. We limped over a long hill to Tarbut where the day was rescued by a sweet waffle. This delicious dessert energised us, and in the next four hours we covered nearly 60 miles over some of the biggest hills we have seen since Cornwall, and through the most breathtaking scenary so far. We eventually reached Oban, and enjoyed a hot chocolate, despite Jim smashing the steps of the cafe with his bike pedal.
Words of the day: basshunter (Jim), DMX (Tim)
