Rest day 1 (5th August 2016)

After almost three weeks walking, I was at Fort William – the first (and hardest) of six sections in my guide book was complete! I took a well deserved rest day.

Friday 5th August 2016

Tent had been put up close to bin and streetlight, so I moved it over. Went to Glen Nevis bar for lunch and afternoon coffee and cake, and used their wifi a lot! Walked into Fort William and had a curry. Fort William is too commercial – it’s just a high street, train station, and supermarkets – the rest is dull as far as I can see. I found service in the Indian [restaurant] to be rushed.

Glen Nevis campsite is a little better, at least the pricing is straightforward and inclusive of showers etc. However, I find it a stark contrast to the north [of Scotland], especially The Crask Inn but also Watten and Lairg.

Distance: 4 miles – walking to Fort William from campsite!

Spending: £64

Mood: 🙂
