Itinerary description
|
We arrived in Tindrum at 15:00 in the afternoon. We had a Cocacola and continued towards Bridge of Orchy. The girl at the campsite, very kind, tells us that we have just under three hours left.
When we leave the town, it is quite hot, we start to get tired, and we have a steep climb that spoils our morale a little. Upon reaching the top, however, we seem to regain strength. This part runs along the side of the mountain on a flat path, easy to walk and somewhat boring. Furthermore, we didn't find any traveling companions at first.
Throughout the rest of the afternoon what we do see are many sheep. When we finish going down the mountain, we see some cows in the distance, and we pass by a couple of farms.
The landscape once again has forests, we leave the road a little further away and the path is flat and without slopes. We ended up at Bridge of Orqui at 6, tired, and wanting a good beer, which we enjoyed in the hotel bar. The only complication along the way was the heat, which was very unexpected.
