Kilometers: 11
Waiting for the boat taxi on the right. See the steep mountain side to the left? I walked that to Inversnaid two years ago and today was no easier. From Inversnaid there are a number of boat taxis across the lake, where there are both buses and trains to different destinations.
Out on the lake
What a lovely day to be on the water!

My bed last night was in a one-room cabin with two bunk beds. Upon arrival the room was very hot, but overnight it got cold. When I woke up it was 7 degrees inside and we had all been freezing. There was a free standing radiator in the room, but with the heat yesterday none of us had thought we'd need it.
After breakfast I packed up and walked down to Loch Lomond.
I had decided to try the walk north along the lake, hoping my knee would be fine even though I knew it is a difficult path. At first it seeed to be fine. I made it a couple of kilometers, or at least that's what it felt like, but it was getting increasingly difficult with lots of ups and downs and eventually I decided to turn around and go back to Inversnaid.
When I arrived in Tarbet I had the choice of bus or train. I had decided to go to Oban, to be able to rest some more before the start of the Great Outdoors Challenge. I managed to get a bed at Oban Youth Hostel and I was first in my room so I got to choose my bed 😁
After a longish rest (I even dozed off for a while) I went out for a walk. The sun was setting but it was still nice and warm.
