Very pleasant day. Pressure off today as only 68km planned, with lunch with Dad and Betty on shores of Loch Ness. Great scenery over a bit of, well, highland I suppose, after Beauly and down along Loch Ness (waves looked better for surfing than boating, but I decided to push on).
Real signs of civilisation now, with pleasant villages, nice Latte at Drummadrochit, less dead sheep on the roadside and I can now understand the hotel proprieters (albeit all have been very friendly to be fair).
Found a very nice pub for dinner this eve here in damp Fort Augustus, unfortunately had to leave after an hour (which proved the day's trickiest task) to escape the Canadians and Americans (here to spot Nessie I assume)- I want to plan tomorrow's route, not become an expert on anchors on Royal Navy frigates!!! The unexpected hazards of being a lone traveller I suppose.
The body is holding up. The knees have been protesting for the last two days but better today - I am assuming therefore that they will make it!
100km day tomorrow into Ben Nevis and Glencoe NP - I don't have contours on my AA road atlas, but I suspect that Wimbledon Hill training could be called upon...
Good luck to Claudia on the Study drinks evening, you'll be great.
