After a tough night for Kevin and the "Great Equalizer", we started Day 2 by not quite knowing the right way to go. But, for some reason, we followed Tim w confidence!
It was another great weather day and finally found the proper path, ripping through the first seven miles and stopping for a break, only to encounter Chuck and his merry band. Of course, they were knocking down pints and owning the place. He warned us about the next stretch. We moved on. Oh, I'd like to thanks our sponsor Bonk Breakers!
Chuck was quite right. The next few miles was like trying to track Tarzan. We skirted slippery rocks and spent more time avoiding roots than a white supremacist.
After lunch, things really didn't get much easier; rocks and roots ruled the path, knocking off Tim's glasses and slowing us to a literal crawl. Finally, we got out of the Scottish Congo and found some nice fixer-uppers w a view!
Shortly after, we pulled into Invernan and met our new friend Morty from Denmark and of course, Chuck and the gang. We asked Shaun why Chuck calls him Seamus, "after I was born, he heard the name and stated, that's a right fine name, from now on, I'm calling you Seamus!" Thanks! Dad! It was time to retire for the night, so we crossed this beleaguered bridge and headed for The Drover's Inn
