The well kept gardens of the Kintail Lodge. A last look at the West Coast....well for about 250m until I walked beside Loch Duich into Strath Croe! |
At the bottom of the gorge the view opened up revealing Glen Elchaig, a hidden gem all the better for having no public road up it. |
Just before the col is Loch na Droma...I found a couple of good spots to camp only to discover rotting deer carcass's nearby, so pressed on to the area I'd originally planned on stopping at. |
Cracking start that.
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin, I wanted to make a route which included sights and places I'd not seen/been to over the years...at least as much as possible.
DeleteI'd better get cracking on my I account, I suppose :-)
ReplyDeleteNice start.
Ha ha Robin pressures on!! :-)
DeleteLooks like a great first day, cracking photo's, looking forward to more
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I'm going to try and do a day a day (if you see what I mean) photos are taking ages to go thro and weed out. I don't envy all that editing you've got
ReplyDeleteLooks like some reasonable weather on day 1. Good pitch too.
ReplyDeleteI did well with the weather Alan, the pitch was a bit slopey. But the options were limited by the bog!
ReplyDeleteImaginative start, Al; I've not seen anyone going down the Falls of Glomach before.
ReplyDelete:-)
Cracking pictures, too.
Cheers Alan, almost everyone I met thought I was going the "wrong" way! I had a tick list of sights/hill that I wanted to include. I was inspired to think outside the box by your blog of last years Challenge with the crossing to Lismore etc.
DeleteSo thank you!
By the way you said I'd have a ball and I did :-)
