The VC’s Life Cycle 2 Blog: Day 4 – Spean Bridge to Cairndow
August 28, 2012
The weather forecast for today promised it would be grim. It was grim, and we had 93 miles to do. But, first things first: In yesterday’s blog I forgot to mention it was Simon’s birthday. Because our ‘hosts’ at Spean Bridge Hotel refused to serve us dinner because we were 10 minutes late, we were …
