Tyndrum to Kingshouse Glencoe- 19 miles

I was up early this morning to start the journey from Tyndrum which would take me via the Bridge of Orchy into the mountains and across the Uk's largest wilderness Rannoch moor. It had rained heavily most of the night and the sound of a river close to my bedroom made it sound even worse. My first problem of the day was crossing a stream which had risen overnight. I failed miserably and fell off a stepping stone putting one hand in the water and filling my walking shoes with river water. After emptying them out I headed on my way. By now the rain was pouring and when I spoke to an American women she gave me some excellent advice. She said "look at it as an adventure". It certainly was and I was greatful to spend the next six miles talking to a student who was having a gap year. After the Bridge of Orchy you head to the mountains before taking the Drove road across Rannoch moor. The sun broke out and shone across its vastness. I had been reading Psalm 20 

this morning. " May the Lord answer you when you are in distress ; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you".

I think it sums up my experience of the day.
