The best and the worst

Although I was the primary photographer on our trip, I did occasionally hand the camera over to Eugene so that there would be a shot or two of me included in our photo albums.

Day 6: Drumnadrochit to Inverness

Day 6, Drumnadrochit to Inverness
Approximately 20 miles. Or 1, if you’re us. But who’s counting?

That’s right, today we cheated. We resigned. We chose to play on our vacation, rather than walk. We learned about Nessie, explored a castle, and cruised the loch. We didn’t walk the trail at all, except the bits that took us from Tramps to castle. Read more

Rest day in Fort Augustus

We chose to take a rest day in Fort Augustus for several reasons:

  1. It’s halfway along the route, giving us three days of walking on either side.
  2. The travel guide informed us that Fort Augustus is “the biggest town between Fort William and Inverness”.
  3. The travel group that arranged the walk for us suggested Fort Augustus as an excellent place to take an extra day. Now I don’t remember everything they said (the website has changed a bit since we booked our travel), but I believe they called it “bustling” and, mentioned things like cruises, castles, and quaint shops.

All good reasons to stop there, right? Read more
