Staying at Glen Coe Mountain Resort
28/5/24
We set off from Staffordshire this morning, having enjoyed the fun of a festival for the last few days. It rained and rained all the way, with moments when the road completely vanished in a haze of spray. The beautiful hills and scenery of Lancashire, Cumbria and Scotland were barely visible in the mist, cloud and rain. The weather forecast has had a yellow weather warning today and we are hoping it will blow over a little by tomorrow.
It was lovely to reminisce on the way through Scotland about all the adventures of the JOGLE last summer. Every few miles one of us would mention a memory of our journey, from pointing out a path we cycled to playing spot the ferry boat. It was a surprise just how long it took to drive back along each days journey, especially along Loch Lomond, a lovely to see the Green Welly Stop and The Real Food Cafe agin!
The Camper team arrived first and set up base in exactly the same spot as we camped in last year. We arrived to find they had started preparing a super yummy dinner for us all which was most welcome. The midges were out to greet us, so we got to wear our highly fashionable hats at long last! After dinner we headed to the bar for a quick drink and some last minute planning (essentially trying to work out if the OS maps estimate for tomorrow or the Google prediction is more accurate so we can work out how late we can sleep until!). We then headed back to the tents and van to sort our bags ready for Ben Nevis tomorrow!
