A little closer to home - Inverness and Beauly
Darkness and rain on the roof encourages us to stay in bed a little longer this morning. Eventually up about 8 - gloomy daylight through bedroom window not much earlier. Cheryl made rice cream for dessert tonight and I washed the car. Showers and left the lodge a little after 9. Roads very wet after over night rain. Rain had stopped and so we headed north through Beauly once again and took A9 skirting around Beauly Firth. Crossed ...

Finally away from lodge after 9 and headed north via Beauly and Garvey on the A85 heading for the Isle of Skye in Scotland's far north west.

It was much less well preserved than Carn ...
Jimmy's coastal walk : day 34

This was my longest walk so far, 26.7 miles, and in a pair of relatively new shoes my feet were complaining as evidenced by several blisters.
