Day 6 - Kinlochleven to Fort William (16 miles)
... a photo of me next to the end sign and also next to the weary traveller statue. 1st one to finish out of our group! LOL To reward myself I walked down to the nearest pub that was cooking food and ordered a big chicken and bacon baguette, chips and a Strongbow.

Scotland - Skye and Highlands
... amazing landscapes along the way, certainly not a boring drive. We were greeted by more lochs on the west coast, before climbing over the bridge to Skye.
