The Final Countdown

Hi All.

Another 20 miles today - Inverness to Alness.

Alness High Street

I've just added up the miles.  I've completed 874 so far and have less than 120 to do!  I should be finished in about a week's time.  Where did the time and the miles go?

Time is running out if you haven't sponsored me yet.  Thank you to everyone who has

I am having a great time but this walk is for Alder Hey Kids  through Liverpool Unites charity.

By the way If you do click on the sponsor site it says there are more days left to go than there actually are.

Strangely majestic I think.

A mixed day today with both sunshine and rain.  The views were over Cromarty Firth and all the oil rigs in the bay.  The name Cromarty always makes me think of the Radio 4 Shipping Forecast.

I'm planning to stay in a B & B tonight to prepare for a 20 mile road walk on Saturday.

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.
