Day 11 Wednesday 14 July Barcaldine - Fort Augustus

Unfortunately image it was a wet morning, and I didn't see much of the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe area. Got to Fort William at lunch time - still raining.

imageFrom Fort William, the road climbs a bit into cattle country, towards Spean Bridge

image where this Commando Memorial is sited. Tough training country. The road then falls again to Loch Lochy

image and then Loch Oich, where this early example of a balanced cantilever was built.

image Finally on to Fort Augustus at the bottom of Loch Ness. Another camp site that wasn't overcrowded.

image I can't now remember what I cooked that night; it will have been rice with a tin of something, and it was fine!
