one week in and we are fine

Hi all, Zee here, we plan to post pics tomorrow, this is just to let you know what we have been up to. My fingers are numb from all the cycling so p[lease excuse spelling errors. We arrivid in scotland last friday and cycled like mad yokes till we got to Ardgossan (or something like that) where we took the ferry to Arran, This happened accidently, (I thought he wanted to go, he thought I did, both were indifferent). Arran is gorgeous, we stayed three nights, two of which we camped wild. we saw red squirrelsa and golden eagles and harriers and hares and black bunnies. the plant life there was fab too and we got some nice sunny weather, though it always seems to rain by by night. We left Arran on the Monday and cycled once again like mad yokes to Loughgilphead where we stayed in a camping place and did some badly needed l;aundry. we saw shaggy moos (highland cattle.)night time once again was very very rainy and windy. The following day we cycled to outside Connel that is built next to a tidal waterfall that apparently gets scary during spring tides, (it was normal fo us though) Anyway, camped wild outside a mussel farm on Lough Etive. The loughs here are salt water. Then we cycled to fort William, and stayed last night in The scottish youth hostel, something I am not in a hurry to do again, give me a tent any day!!. Any way hostel and the campsite we are at now are at the foot of the mighty Ben Nevis (or the foot of the mountain next to it) Spectacular!!!!! hope to do an easy mountain walk later and work some muscles other than those used for cycling. This place is lovely, this day is soft and drizzly. Love to everyone and apologies for not being in touch, internet access round here seems few and far in between. XXXXXX and from Dee too. till tomorrow when we hope to upload pics of this lovely country.
