• Day 74 Alltsigh to Abriachan

    August 1 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Today we had a nice breakfast at the hostel with great views over Loch Ness. Then we set of on a long days walk, we had over 20 miles today (including a detour to Urquhart castle). We climbed up high above Loch Ness again, with the great views. The we dropped down into Lewiston and detoured back on ourselves to visit Urquhart castle. This was well worth the detour just for the views. Then we walked back through Drumnadrocit which has some nice cafes and pubs and lots of gift shops selling the Loch Ness monster. Then we had a very steep climb back into the forest and through forest tracks to reach our accommodation for tonight at Camping Pod Heaven. We have a very nice spacious pod, which saves us putting the tent up (and is also slightly warmer than the tent).Read more
