We rode northwards from the Loch, skirting the side of it, slowly round twisting bends in the wet, until we arrived at Black Mount, where we stopped for a coffee in a layby and took some pictures.
The weather was getting colder and the rain was beginning to start as we left the higher ground and entered Glencoe. In some respects the darker skies gave a different and dramatic ambience to the Glen, with clouds hanging over the mountains either side, but the wind was blowing us about quite a lot and the temperature dipped below 10 degrees to discourage us from lingering, in addition to the road being quite narrow with few stopping places. As we left the Glen and approached Fort William, the rain abated and we were able to enjoy lunch in the dry there, plus pick up a Nokia charger for Jean (my fault, I forgot to pack hers) and an iPod charger (my fault, I assumed that a USB one would work without actually trying it). So, some brownie points recovered, we left for the Commando Memorial nearby.
