Day 78 – Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit – 15 miles

I have observed before that the British are obsessed by the weather. I’ve been here for quite some time, and I may be starting to develop the same obsession. So starting today I’m going cold turkey on the weather. From now on, weather doesn’t exist, and I’m not going to report on it. Not even if it snows. Not even if locals start hanging hammocks from palm trees. Nope, I’m going to ignore the weather and just report on the day’s activities. I think that will make the postings much more interesting.

Trail made of dirt

Today’s walk was on a trail. It was made of dirt. It also had rocks and roots. When the trail ended, it came out on a road. The road was blacktop.

Water called Loch Ness

Sometimes I could see water. It is called Loch Ness. It has a monster, but nobody ever sees it. Or if they do see it, they get eaten by it, so they can’t tell anybody. I didn’t get eaten, so I must not have seen the monster.

People riding horses

I saw some people riding horses, though.

Carol and Stewart

And I met a nice couple who were walking on the trail when it was still dirt.

I’m at my B&B now. I am going to have dinner soon.





See how much more interesting the daily posting can be when the weather is ignored?

4. Blame it on the Rain
5. Singing in the Rain
6. Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain
