Fort William to Fort Augustus




Day three:
Fort William to Fort Augustus

Formed an orderly queue outside local bike shop http://www.offbeatbikes.co.uk/ for new brake blocks, the grit and stones on the military road the day before having shredded our brakes. Incredulous staff thought we were bonkers to have done that route in those conditions and on ordinary bikes. But, there you go, a bike is a bike when you're pushing it over mountains.

An easy day's ride, mostly along the Great Glen Way http://www.greatglenway.com/, which mixes tracks alongside the Caledonian Canal with forest roads.

Stopped the night at a hotel in Fort Augustus, which was OK.
