D-Day

06:40

We arrived at Glencoe at 22:10 last night and were presently surprised at how nice the Youth Hostel looked.  After hanging around in the reception for ten minutes the Manager arrived. Unfortunately, he couldn't find our booking! It transpired that we were at the wrong place and our hostel was another mile down the road! The hostel is basic but clean and welcoming.  I spent most of the night awake listening to the rain and the current world snoring champion who was in our dorm!


I have been talking to a team from London who are also attempting the peaks.  They have the same concerns as us, the weather conditions and a minibus restricted to 62 mph may hamper our chances of completing the challenge within 24 hours.

Everyone is now up and out of bed, time for a shower and a cup of tea then up to Fort William for breakfast.

It's stopped raining now, let's hope it stays that way!
