We evacuated from our midge infested campsite (more on this later) and hit the road. We made good progress to Conner, site of the famous Lorna Falls. Unfortunately the road south was closed because of an accident. As we suddenly had 4g coverage we found a national cycle route through the hills (route 78) that would get us past the accident. This was an undulating route on a track road winding between two mountains. We rejoined our route having gone about 6 miles extra and then a beautiful road down Loch Awe, just a shame it was raining so hard.
We took refuge in a pub and had lunch watching the rain hammer down outside the window. Luckily after lunch the clouds cleared and the sun emerged. "It doesn't rain that much in Glasgow - I know I'm a student there" said the barman. That should tell you exactly how rainy it normally is on the west coast of Scotland.
