Inchree to Inverness

On the A82 again. Nevermind.

Another glorious day - full sunshine and stunning views. The road out of Fort William takes you passed Ben Nevis, snow caps and all.

I stopped for lunch at the most amazing hotel: Glengarry Castle - I have to recommend this one. The service was great, the food excellent and the views stunning (from the library, where I ate, I had a clear view of the terraced garden, Loch Oich and the steep mountains opposite. The antique furniture was wonderful and the bathroom was brown marble and art deco. It has its own ruined castle in the grounds - what more could you want?

I spent the day cycling up the lochs Linnhe, Lochy, Oich and Ness. No monsters today (nor last year - must be frightened of cyclists). Passed through Rubha Ban (it's really there) and into Inverness. Stayed in a small hotel on Ness Bank with wonderful views of the river.

Fantastic.

And beginning to get demob happy - only 150 and 2 days to go!
