West Highland Way - Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy

After yesterday’s long and winding - and wet - path, today felt like a walk in the park. Day 5 was a gentle 12 km stroll from Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy. The track is broad and well surfaced with gravel and stones, and it follows the railway line on which we will be travelling home on Tuesday. We passed lots of sheep and ate our apples in a sheltered spot beside the railway bridge. There were a few fellow hikers on the path, some of whom were going to Bridge of Orchy like us, but others were going on to Inveroran or even the Kings House Hotel. We met the friendly couple from Day 1 again and had a chat before they headed on to Inveroran - it turns out that their real names are Kevin and Colette.  Today was dry but quite windy, and although we got to the Bridge of Orchy Hotel by lunch time, and could easily have pressed on a bit, it was really good to have an afternoon of lounging about. The hotel here is extremely nice and the dinner has been the best of the holiday so far.
