Day 21 Strathcaron to Fort William

Because I didn't finish my running day yesterday I had to make up the 47 miles first before I could do the cycling planned for the day. So starting from Strathcarron I made my way along Loch Carron towards Skye Bridge, then a quick visit to the Isle of Skye and on to the ferry to Mallaig where I will continue the day by cycling onwards.

These were some places I made my way through!

Originally the cycle day was to be from Mallaig to Lochggillphead but because the cost of ferry rides and our shrinking budget we had to revise the journey, and decided to go for Fort William instead and then make our way down via the mainland.

Making it 100 miles from Strathcarron to Fort William and putting me somewhat behind despite my best efforts to maintain the target.

The sunset then the rest.

I was toying with the idea of pushing on wards on our day off to make up the mileage, but know with a good day's rest and plenty to eat and drink we both will feel better and could achieve more in the new week.

This brings the total to 1849 miles in 21 days, also almost in the middle of our expedition and were loving every bit of the journey.

It is hard and we both am pushing ourselves to the max, it is a good feeling to know that your alive. Now some rest!
