• Day 7. Kinghouse to Kinlochleven

    August 4, 2017 in Scotland ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    The taxi delivered us to Kinghouse on time for breakfast. Yes you guessed it, it was raining and the mountains were shrouded in mist.
    It took us over an hour to reach the bottom of "the Devils Staiyway". So named by the people who built it. It took us 45 mins to reach the top. 548m the highest point on the WHW. At the top was an honesty box for soft drinks and water. We saw at least 15 walkers out to bag a monro.
    The downward track was a bit of an ordeal for us. Many rocks that threatened ankle injury.
    The mist swirled around us as fellow walkers appeared and disappeared in the gloom.
    We were happy to arrive and the day was finished.
    I managed to get Shirl the latest episode of Poldark and all is well.
    Looking forward to the last day tomorrow.
