Nessie
... The Loch was perfectly flat and it is very dark in color, the gentleman doing the guide talk said this was because of the stain from bracken etc that washes into it, apparently visibility is only about 3 meters. We did not see Nessie, but he believes something is afoot and it could happen anytime. Still had an interesting boat ride with magnificent scenery and well, been there done it now.later in the evening back at the Abbey ...
Loch Ness
We arrived at our accommodation after driving through the Highlands and plenty of snow. The Highland Club is an old converted Abbey . We were in the old school house in self contained accommodation but with access to the old Abbey and its surrounds.

I didn't even manage to get 1 day updated on my blog. This is how you can quickly fall behind writing ...
Day 4 - Invernarnan to Kingshouse - (21'ish miles)
... Just passing the Glencoe mountain resort, I stop and talk to Mike (Clive's brother-in-law) who has just arrived to join up with Clive and Rosie for the last 2 days of the walk. He is heading up the path with his dog Bentley to meet up with them, I said I hadn't seen them since they stopped for lunch so other could be quite some way behind me and it looked like some rain was moving in. I wished him good luck.
I know it's not a race, but it's great to get to ...
