Going South (30th July 2016)

Saturday 30th July 2016

Packed up a bit late, after trying to avoid midges as best I could. Began with a fairly easy walk up to Loch an Nid, where I made a curry during a dry spell. The dry spell quickly turned wet!

Next a bit more track followed by pathless sections, and a bit of height (finally came down to the enormous Lochan Fada). From here a good track but very long.

A bothy listed in guidebook was now in ruin, so on to Kinlochewe Hotel, which had space in bunk house.

It was really a wet day and I was getting quite miserable in the constant rain. I was relieved to be able to have a good shower and then get warm and dry.

Too late to eat in pub but had a pint, and a bar of caramel shortbread. Had whisky with Glaswegians in bunkhouse kitchen.

Distance: 20.3 miles [view on map]

Spending: £23

Mood: 😐 -> 🙁 -> 🙂

View towards Loch na Sealga (off route – I didn’t get any closer)
