Today we walked from Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit. Lizzie and Tred got an early start because they needed to be in 'Drum' by 4, and Drew and I hit the road around ten minutes before ten. We made good time, considering steep long climbs and uncomfortably long descents! Just sayin'! Really loved those level canal-side pathways of days 1-3. Yesterday was somewhat hilly and today was massive. Tomorrow will be longer but not as many climbs. 14 miles today then 19 miles tomorrow, the last three of which will be in the city of Inverness.
After we were all here, our hostess Caroline gave us a ride out to the Urquhart Castle. There were only 15 minutes to see it before they locked it up, but we scrambled through... And then this rainbow happened. Isn't it amazing!
no whisky tonight, but I have taken some notes along the way. and did I mention that we had our first sticky toffee pudding last night? Sooo sticky, so naughty and good. We rationalize that walking so far makes it ok but... It's cold turkey on the sticky toffee pudding, already, after one try.
Up and out early tomorrow. And we hope to see some of our trail friends along the way, like Ben and Lena or the three young men from Glasgow... We all are doing the GGW sort of together. There are very few others on the trail. Drew and I net one man going the other way this afternoon... He said he had left Inverness this morning and hoped to reach Fort Williamk tomorrow night. that is doing in TWO days what we are doing in six. Wow!
We are well and miss you all and send special love to Danielle ankd the doggies at
Cumberland St.
