About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

The High of the Highlands

Great day's walking today, 22 miles from Drumnadrochit to Inverness.

It was a steep climb out of Drum, up to 2000 feet, then never came below 1100 feet until the descent down to Inverness.


Lots of great views over Loch Ness then open moorland, mixed forest and some road walking with more fantastic views over Beauly Firth.

I found a cafe in the middle of nowhere called the Abriachan Eco Cafe and Campsite.  It is run by a lady called Sheila.  It is a great place and an "Eco" cafe, brilliant!

I've really enjoyed my time on the Great Glen Way.  The Highlands of Scotland really are special.

The Great Glen Way - Very Special Indeed!


I start up towards the East Coast tomorrow and I wonder what that has in store for me.
