Day 102
Inverness and Loch Ness, Scotland
August 18, 2022 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
2 1 3 1
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands of Scotland. It's name in Gaelic means "Mouth of the River Ness" and that's exactly where it sits, on the north end of Loch Ness. The town itself was very tourism focused with museums dedicated to Loch Ness and the Legend of Nessy. It had a cute aesthetic, and we even found some remnants of Emily's MacDonald clan heritage.

Loch Ness was beautiful. It is both the 2nd deepest at 230 meters (after Loch Morar) and 2nd largest loch (after Loch Lomond) in the British Isles. That makes Ness the largest Loch by volume. It contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. Plenty big enough to hide a dinosaur!

We started by driving up the west bank and then ambitiously decided to return by driving around the east bank. The east bank was amazing. No one was out there and we saw two huge bucks by the road, a beautiful stone bridge and beautiful landscapes.Read more

Day 10
B862 View
August 30, 2019 in Scotland ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Nach dem Stopp in Inverness heißt es: Roadtripp
Zuerst aber mal Berufsverkehr. Hier rächen sich die Roundabouts.
Kurz auf die A9 und dann auf die B862 Richtung Fort Augustus.
Außer dass man sich wegen dem rasanten Gegenverkehr auf den Singel Track Abschnitten enorm konzentrieren muss, eine tolle Tour.
Quer durch die Highlands. Bei wechselnder Bewölkung. Vorbei an kleinen Orten und Löchern (Plural von Loch?)
Zwischendurch Schilder die vor Red Squirrels und Langsamen Kindern warnen - warum auch immer.Read more

Day 8
Hostel am Loch Ness
August 14, 2022 in Scotland ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
Der gefundene Platz an einem Nachbarsee von Loch Ness lag leider in einem Privatgelände - ein junger Mann gab uns zwar noch ein paar Tipps, aber auch da kein Glück - die B&B an den wir vorbeikamen, waren alle belegt 😥😬
Nach langer Suche fanden wir ein Hostel direkt am See: Loch Ness 😊👍 Erst wollten wir zelten, aber da überfallen einen sofort tausende mückenähnliche Insekten 🐜 🐜 - also doch lieber direkt ins Hostel.
Das ist nicht teuer, hat aber etwas von Ferienlagerfeeling mit Doppelstockbetten im 6-Bett-Zimmer 😆, für eine Nacht akzeptabel.
Nach langen „Vorbereitungen“ sitzen wir endlich am Wasser, der Grill brennt und das Lagerfeuer 🔥 auch.
Das Essen war ganz vorzüglich😋.
Wir genießen zu fortgerückter Stunde eine fast insektenfreie Zeit und gehen dann schlafen.Read more

T+7: Early bird
May 17, 2019 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
We got up early and have planned to skip all missions of today.

We are on our way to a special event which is not (yet) in the roadbook.

Just a quick stop at Loch Ness to take a panorama.

Day 3
Loch Knockie Viewpoint
September 16, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Wind blowing a hooley but decided to stay here the night for the views. Great Glen Way trail is across the road, so walked out to the top hill for the great views over Loch Tarff and Loch Knockie.
