Day 47 - Major hitch

A very short blog today. I walked the 7 miles to Crianlarich as expected this morning - thus bringing up the 700 mile total for the walk.



This afternoon we had out usual rest day tour - unfortunately the gear box failed in the middle of nowhere. Amazingly the AA got a break down vehicle to us within 45 minutes. The garage could not sort the problem and so the car is being taken to the Jag dealers in Perth for them to run things through their computer.



Tomorrow I hope to walk to Bridge of Orchy as planned. Jean and the luggage will come along by train , taxi or our hosts at the B&B have offered to drive her. We are booked into the Bridge of Orchy hotel for 2 nights, and hopefully by Wednesday the car will have been sorted and be back with us. If not we may have to hire a car for the next couple of weeks, although Jean is not too keen on driving a different car.



Because of all of these problems I am running late tonight and so cannot do a full blog. I was planning to update all of the stats - hopefully I will have time to do so tomorrow.
