I had an extra layer on my legs and top today and my gloves were already on along with the waterproofs. Snow-capped mountains surrounded me and the going along the Military Road was good. There were more nice camping spots alongside Allt Kinglass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Bridge of Orchy soon arrived. The little camping spot by the bridge over the River Orchy had a solitary tent on it. <\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>From here there was a steep climb up a hill, over the top where it was particularly chilly. This was followed by a descent into the next valley and the Inveroran hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continued on a short distance to Victoria Bridge. The rain had stopped briefly, and this was a spot that I had earmarked for a wild camp so I stopped, sat down, ate a sandwich that I had bought in Tyndrum and had a look at the map. I didn\u2019t stop long as a ferocious hailstorm hit so rather than just sit there I got up and continued on. It was too early in the day to stop even if this was a lovely looking camp site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next stage was along an ancient road and up a never ending climb. The sharp stones of the road were a little uncomfortable on my feet and it felt like hard work at times. There were frequent showers and it went on and on. There were one or two nice looking campsites but it was pretty exposed and bleak up here. A couple of the bridges had potential spots to camp that were a little out of the wind. However, I\u2019d now decided to make it all the way to Kingshouse today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nI overtook a few people towards the top of climb. They had started at Inveroran and were going to Kingshouse too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kingshouse soon came into view on the descent but it was a surprisingly long time until I actually arrived. I was wet, it was pouring with rain and there was a cold wind was howling up the valley. A hot chocolate and scone helped somewhat and I was able to recharge not only myself but also my battery pack. The bunkhouse, at \u00a344 for a night or \u00a354 with breakfast was a very serious consideration as I sat there looking out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
