Day 9 - Scotland's west coast

A mixed bag so far weather-wise. A dry but cloudy morning ride from Lochgilphead to Oban, where the sun shone brightly for an hour. I bought and fitted a new back tyre to replace my threadbare old one (see pic). Then it began to rain as we crossed to Mull on today's first ferry - a big one as it turned out. Rich became the first team member to have a daytime snooze on board. Then 5 quick miles long the Mull shore and we made the ferry over to Lochaline with about 2 minutes to spare! Now we have ahead of us about 40 miles across lonely Morvern before the Corran ferry back to Fort William and day's end. Will the rain stop?
Mark.
