Sorry for the delay in blogging but we've had very little time to really sit down at the computer to gather our thoughts so I'm just going to post a bunch of photos for now and will come back later to flesh out the details. All is going well, though 'tis been a very soggy trip, but we're enjoying it nonetheless.
 |
| North of Edinburgh we stopped at Blair Castle |
 |
| Then the Falls of Dochart on our circuitous route to Glencoe |
 |
| Once past Crainlarich you're immediately in the Highlands |
 |
| No time to rotate as our bus is leaving but this upside down house is our home for the week |
 |
| Rooming in style |
 |
| And enjoying the toasty fire and warming scotch |
 |
| Chose to walk the lochs the first day |
 |
| Day 2 had some lovely loch views before the rain set in |
 |
| Water, heather, rocky path and bog make up our trail |
 |
| Lovely glen view and that's the West Highland Way on the right |
 |
| it's been very very wet underfoot |
 |
| are we having fun yet? |
 |
| Finished today's walk - where's the bar?? |
 |
| Ben Nevis - highest mountain in Britain (we went around it...) |
 |
| lunch in the rain (that's Sheila in the white!) |
 |
| the weather changed every 5 mins, literally! |
 |
| Sun + rain = rainbows! |
 |
| Even some sightseeing on our walks = Inverlochy Castle |
Where you've walked brings back many memories. And memories of the endless rain too, and the weather changing so rapidly. I'm glad the rain hasn't drowned your spirits!

Thanks! We complain a bit while out there slogging thru it but we always are glad at the end of the day that we did the walk.
DeleteThe endless rain was a big factor in me going to live in France. It also pushed me to travel to India in 85 to get some sunlight. Now have revisited India 3 more times. And I enjoy the sun and light in Spain and France. I'm going again to Spain in a couple of weeks and will maybe do some way-marking with yellow paint.
