One thing I want to declare right now is how much I value taxi drivers, particularly the Stirling taxi driver who drove us from the train station to the centre. Bless his soul, he was super friendly and even offered us a yummy granola bar;we took one between us, hehe I was so touched by his kindness, I gave him a small loaf of genoa cake from sainsbury my mother packed in my bag. He talked on different things about Scotland and offered advice about our hike. He had a really thick Scottish accent, at times I would look at Louise for clarification on some words he pronounced. He left a lovely impression on us and we were super grateful to him. When we arrived we were directed to our rooms, and dinner was prepared. It was delicious as we both devoured it whole heartedly, until we reached the point of feeling so stuffed, the chocolate cake with cream seemed too ambitious to tackle… But I ate it anyway. We were then given an overview of what we were going to expect tomorrow for the hike and essential information. O and we got free hats! The atmosphere was lively. There is a group of 50 of us altogether and everyone seems super lovely and enthusiastic about everything.. So far all is good. Tomorrow we will get up at 5am, have breakfast and leave at 6.30am the latest. They emphasised it isn’t a race but more based on team work and supporting one another across 12 hours. Overall, today has been delightful. I’m excited about tomorrow, good night.
