An evening in Inchree

Inchree is a tony hamlet that sits on Loch Linnhe.

To get to it, I cycled through Glen Coe passed Loch Leven.

The only pub that offers food is a 'short walk away'. I decided to walk (because the guy at the B&B said it was less than a mile) and quickly regretted it - very hot, and the short walk turned into at least 2 miles. I also discovered that the pub was full when I got there, so they couldn't take any more food orders.

But all worked out well - the manager of the pub offered to drive me to the next village pub (another 2 miles away) and refused to take any cash in payment (even though I would have paid a taxi double rather than walk another step).

In the end, I had my evening meal in a Hotel near Loch Leven, where I enjoyed fish and chips and watched the sun settle over two lochs. (I had asked for a baked potato but the waitress insisted that people only eat baked potatoes at lunch time so it was impossible to cook one in the evening - even in a microwave).

Taxi back to the B&B.

People couldn't have been more friendly and more helpful.
