24th Apr Having had the most fabulous host at the Green Welly Stop, Tyndrum -  Lesley Wilkie. She was an absolute delight, we had beds, baths and food and jolly good company. A real pleasure to meet  her and a must to keep in contact with afterwards. we had to go back to Dalmally with the ponies to start the day and drove Archie and William back to Tyndrum, as usual wet and cold. Abi's parents popping in and out and Tim helping with the lorry as and when needed, thanks Tim. Pair went away from Tyndrum To Crianlarich and we changed over to Basil as a single and moved on to Inverbeg quite a way down Loch Lomond to finish the day. Mixed weather - bitter old morning with a hail storm, but better later and rain to finish with.  We are actually getting used to it all now. We are so grateful to Musto - without a doubt they know what they are doing with their wet weather gear. It has been a life saver for us. Went to a pub at Balmaha  for supper which was late again after sorting the ponies who were in a field at Drymen, we were allowed in the yard for the night. It rained heavily yet again !!!!!!! Archie and William did 18 miles and dear Basil did 21 miles.
