Day 51 LEJOG Alness

18.6 miles 961.9miles

Had a lovely swim last night with Ali, Colin and Finn in Nairn. A day through the Black Isle today. Mostly on roads and tracks. Slightly dull weather and breezy. Undulating terrain brought us to a trig point- in need of some TLC. Only the 4th we’ve passed. Then the Clootie Well, just a well and no cloots? Sure we’ve seen the cloots before. Down into Culbokie past a dun, for cup of tea. Onwards across the Cromarty Firth,a 2km causeway with a lot of wind. No seals to be seen. Then up a closed bit of path(but unless we stayed on the A road there was no choice) and along the quiet road to Evanton and on to Alness. Saw the Fyrish monument on the hill above Alness. Must pop up to see it sometime!Read more
