Another great weather day for walking.  The plan was 15 miles but it was such a lovely afternoon I did an extra 3; so 18 for the day, from Beauly to the far side of Drumnadrochit (what a great name).  The last hour was down the Great Glen Way which will be my walking route for the next few days.  So nice to get away from traffic for a while.  Plenty of hills today so I really needed the rest at lunchtime.

Being alongside Loch Ness there is plenty of opportunity to play tourist.

Stage 1 (the A9) is done.  Now it’s down the Great Glen to Fort William where Ben Nevis awaits.  There is a lot of snow on the mountains so I hope the weather is kind and my guide is happy to make the ascent.  I’ll know on Wednesday.
