Nessie
G and I got up early this morning and walked the 200 meters into the township. It was a challenge as the roads and footpaths were quite icy and dangerous. G was particularly keen to see the lock, not the loch, it is a series of five gates at increasing heights that allow the boats to continue from the Loch into the river system, as the water is flowed from one to the other. We also checked the tour boat boards and found that there ...
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. We have two nights stay here and that is a bit of a relief, not having to move on in the morning. Nessie hunting is on the agenda for ...
Day 6 - Kinlochleven to Fort William (16 miles)
... We swapped email addresses and promised to share some photos. And that was it? Would I do it again, NO! The weather was so good (eventually) that I think if I did it again, it would not be as good and would ruin the memories. If someone was to ask me if I think they should do it, I would definitely recommend it to them, but they should do the whole thing and in at least 7 days, not 6 that I did it in. The first 2 days were too much really. What next? ...
Day 5 - Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9.25 miles)
I had a leisurely start today, breakfast was with Richard at 08:00 which I was persuaded to have a full Scottish cooked breakfast, which was very nice indeed. Then at around 09:00 Richard set off as I think he secretly wanted to catch up the Belgian guys who were sleeping outside in a tent last night. I packed up, paid my bill of which £22 was on alcohol!! It was a good job Richard shared half of my room bill with me. I didn't fill up ...
Day 4 - Invernarnan to Kingshouse - (21'ish miles)
... Edinburgh for the day just to take some photos of the Loch, as they had heard what the weather was going to be like. It's a day like this that I wish I had brought my digital SLR, lets hope I can make something good of the pictures I have.
I am really loving this panoramic feature of the new iPhone, I am just hoping that they look as good on a big screen as they do on the iPhone itself. I take a selection. F photos with my camera and the phone and then take ...
