Hello folks & apologies for late arrival of e-mails. There is not much internet connection due probably to the mountains etc. I’m still ok. In a lovely campsite in Oban on Sunday evening when I’m writing this. The west coast of Scotland has been such a treat & although I’m getting very tired the beauty of it all is well worth it. I saw a stag today ~ it was an amazing site in the Scottish heathland. I have been able to get all my clothes washed & dried & have had a shower at the campsite. I’ts lovely to be clean again. On Monday I head towards Fort William, Ben Nevis & Loch Lochy. The real mountains await me there. I often have to get off my bicycle & push it up the hills now because it is so heavy with all my camping equipment etc. It’s hard work getting up the hills ~ but great fun coming down ~ wheeeeeeeeee ~ I’m glad I have good brakes! I do hope my e-mails reach you even if they are a bit late. Love from Mandy xxxx
