Right after this pic, who should appear but Morty, our Danish buddy. He paused to chat w the Dutch girls who took this pic, so we bid adieu, probably for the last time. We picked up the pace and rolled through five miles more of awesome scenery. I tried to impress the local ladies with my interesting attire:
Shortly after this, who rolls up from behind? Morty. We visit for a mile, he stops for food and we bid farewell, surely for the last time. At the halfway point, a Ranger has set up tea and coffee for weary hikers. I can't resist a picture:
We visit w some more Dutch women and as Kevin insults one, who strolls up, yep, Morty who has a strong opinion on deforestation. We finish our warm drinks and say goodbye to Morty, SURELY for the last time as he is stopping at a hostel two miles short of Fort William.
As we neared Fort William, Kevin spotted the shooting location for Braveheart, well at least where the actors parked.
With three miles to go, Kevin's continual humming of show tunes and incessant flatulence had taken its toll on us.
Ben Nevis, highest point in UK, but we ain't going there!
We roar in Fort Willam with speed of a three legged chihuahua dragging a piano.
As we near and accidentally pass the finish we look over to see Chick and his group celebrating his 50th. Yes, it's Chick, not Chuck as we've been calling him all week. His fault for talking funny. After pics, lunch and some beers w Check and Co, we head for the train back to Glasgow.
Yes, the guy on the bench got angry at us. Chock is the one in the white T w his proper name Chick on it. After some research we discover he is, "The most interesting man in the world." On the way to the train, yep, we ran into Morty, no joke. We dapped goodbye for maybe the last time.
One thing I learned from hiking the Way, sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
Coming tomorrow we pillage Edinburgh or Edinborough
