LEJOG Day 28 - Fort Augustus to Invernes

And just for something different - a 10km climb to start the day.

The route followed one of General Wade's military roads, built mid 18th century, by the British Government to control the areas which had risen up in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715.

We were expecting a rough gravel track, but were pleasantly surprised to find that it was now a minor road with a new tarmac surface - and very few cars.

Very cold at the top but a great descent down to join the Loch Ness shore line near Foyers (and warm up in the only cafe on the whole route.

The rain showers kept drifting in and out - but a real bonus was the full rainbow.

Happy to get to Inverness after being smashed by heavy rain just 2km from our rest day accommodation.

Distance: 55 km. 750m AscentWeiterlesen
