Today, our favorable mini-run with the weather came to a screeching halt, as it has been cold, windy, and rainy since around 11 am. We had a nice breakfast, including, for me, an unordered but surprisingly tasty bowl of porridge, and started walking at around 9:30. The first 5 miles or so were on an abandoned rail line which is now a beautiful forest path. We stopped for tea and then walked along the canal to Fort William. The last three miles were in a cold, steady rain and we were very glad to reach our hotel by 2. We have basically been taking it easy since then, reading, enjoying a few quaffs, and conversing with various fellow travelers. It was still light at 10:45.
Only 8 miles tomorrow, so we can afford to wait out the bad weather a bit.
So far, our skeletomuscular systems are pretty sound for a vintage quartet such as us. A blessing indeed.
