Milngavie to Balmaha - 19 miles

Walking in the rain may sound romantic but in truth it is to be avoided. That's what I did this morning by having a slow breakfast and lurking in the supermarket until I could hang around no more. It poured most of the day and even those faint appearances of the sun, flattered to deceive . Highlights of today's walk were the Cuckoo who called out at several places on my route and then made an appearance calling from a tall conifer. After what seemed like an age I reached Balmaha and had some soup in the Beech tree pub. My toes are sore but my B and B is excellent located right next to Loch Lomond
