We were in surprisingly reasonable form for two geriatric drunkards and we packed up in the back garden of the pub. Denis had lost his Tilley Hat and I my poles.
A small price to pay for one hell of a day. Denis is writing a book; a 'how not to go' hill walking book, and we reckoned yesterday should make a good entry. Too many books are written by experts; not nearly enough by wonderfully gifted hooligans. I am looking forward to this book.
Rather than slavishly follow the West Highland Way, Denis took me up the pipe-track for wonderful views over Strathblane and then we parted where we met the West Highland Way and Dennis had a coffee - in the pub!
I started the day a mere two thirds of a day behind schedule and so, head down, I made up a bit of the deficit and made it to Cashel on Loch Lomond, desperately needing a sleep.

I was away with the fairies by 8:00pm.
