Monday 5th September 2022 We packed up and left our Airbnb at 8.00 and headed to Appin where we retrieved Jill’s car. It seemed silly to drive it back to our B&B last night only to bring it back again today and so we had left it in the community car park at Appin overnight.Continue reading “Day 230 – Corran Ferry to Glengalmadale 13.5 miles 1185′ of ascent”

Day 229 – Appin to Corran Ferry 21 miles
Sunday 4th September 2022 We ferried one car to North Ballachulish and returned to Appin with the other car to resume walking. It was a wet, grey morning; the mountains were grey shadows and the lochs dull. We were all togged up in waterproofs and set off along the cycle path for Route 78. ItContinue reading “Day 229 – Appin to Corran Ferry 21 miles”
Day 228 – Benderloch to Appin (Accrosrigan) 16.5 miles
Saturday 3rd September 2022 Last night it rained heavily. Fortunately it was the rain that had been forecast for us today and so, with it moving through earlier than expected, we had a largely dry day excepting for the last few minutes. We drove to Benderloch and, after getting sandwiches from the famous “pink shop”Continue reading “Day 228 – Benderloch to Appin (Accrosrigan) 16.5 miles”
Day 227 – Kilmore to Benderloch 18.5 miles 323’ of ascent
Friday 2nd September 2022 We dropped one car at Benderloch and then drove back to the village hall at Kilmore. The first four miles or so were on the A861 and it was quite narrow, quite hilly, quite bendy and had quite a lot of traffic. So we had hi-vis tops on and Jill hadContinue reading “Day 227 – Kilmore to Benderloch 18.5 miles 323’ of ascent”
Day 226 – Kilmelford to Kilmore 17.8 miles 565’ of ascent
Thursday 1st September 2022 We left one car at Kilmore village hall, the end of today’s walk and drove back to Kilmelford and left the other car at their village hall. Then we set off down the road towards Melfort where there is a harbour and marina for smart boats. It was a clear, sunnyContinue reading “Day 226 – Kilmelford to Kilmore 17.8 miles 565’ of ascent”
Day 225 – Kilmartin to Kilmelford 17.7 miles 558’ of ascent
Wednesday 31st August 2022 Today’s walk had a choice, either we could walk the main A816 road from Kilmartin to Ardfern or we could walk through the forest on good estate tracks to Ormaig and then, where the track runs out, find our way through the forest and on to open ground beyond and therebyContinue reading “Day 225 – Kilmartin to Kilmelford 17.7 miles 558’ of ascent”
Day 224 – Bellanoch to Kilmartin 6.4 miles 418′ of ascent
Tuesday 30th August 2022 We stayed at our cottage in Cumbria last night and drove to Bellanoch this morning. We are trying new logistics this time. The buses were really not going to work out very well (if at all) and so we have brought two cars with us rather than a car and aContinue reading “Day 224 – Bellanoch to Kilmartin 6.4 miles 418′ of ascent”
Day 223 Barnluasgan to Bellanoch 14.8 miles 1317′ of ascent
Friday 5th August 2022 Today is the last day of this session and we have an almost circular walk with only a couple of miles between the beginning and end. Then we head back to Cumbria for a night on our way back to Yorkshire. We left the bike padlocked to the railings by theContinue reading “Day 223 Barnluasgan to Bellanoch 14.8 miles 1317′ of ascent”
Day 222 – Balimore to Barnluasgan 13.6 miles 1000′ of ascent
Thursday 4th August 2022 Today we were going to continue going around the middle peninsula of the three Knapdale Peninsulas. There are no buses around here and so we will again be using my bike to retrieve our car. We drove around to Balimore where we finished last night but down the west side ofContinue reading “Day 222 – Balimore to Barnluasgan 13.6 miles 1000′ of ascent”
Day 221 – Achahoish to Balimore 12.6 miles 1300′ of ascent
Wednesday 3rd August 2022 Today was a slightly complicated day logistically so; please concentrate! We would drive to Achahoish Church and leave my bike there and then drive on to Achahoish school where we finished last night (we walked an extra four miles yesterday). We would then walk to the bike at Achahoish Church andContinue reading “Day 221 – Achahoish to Balimore 12.6 miles 1300′ of ascent”
