Morning everyone
 Started our ninth week today, about halfway and still loving it.
Thursday :
Simon & Daniel cycled to the lighthouse at the Mull of Kintyre, very steep pathway, took about 3 hours, then made our way to Campbletown for lunch and fuel.
Daniel & I drove to our next campsite on the waters edge again at  Muasdale, lovely quiet site with a long stretch of beach for Murphy's exercise.
Friday :
Made our way to Lochgilphead, the scenery is gradually getting more stunning.
Daniel & I spent a couple of hours in the town waiting for Simon to arrive.
Simon had 2 broken spokes and was lucky to find a bike repair shop in the town.
The bike was put in the camper and I drove us all to a campsite at Balloch on the bottom edge of Loch Lomond.
This ride was the best scenery of the trip so far, Mountains with snow and deep valley's + the Loch's.
Saturday :
Took Daniel to Glasgow airport for hs flight home, Simon caught the bus to Glasgow and i drove back to Loch Lomond to the visitors centre were I spent about 3 hours looking around the Shops, took a train ride, and took Murphy for a walk along the waters edge.
In the afternoon I drove to Glasgow airport again to pick up Simon & Rupert Watson-Smythe.
Rupert flew up from Cornwall and is cycling with Simon for about 9 days through the Islands.
I then had to drive all of us back to Lochgilphead( about 60 miles) to the place where Simon last stopped cycling so that he would not miss any parts out.
Had a great meal in a local restaurant in the evening, did a late food shop and walked back to the campsite.
A quarter to ten and still light, very warm and the lights from the houses flickering on the Loch made all three of us feel very lucky to be here.
Sunday :
Simon & Rupert left for Oban at 9.30, I am leaving now to find the next campsite.
all for now
