Day 41, Wednesday 20th May

Fort William to South Laggan - 24 miles.
A new experience today, breakfast at "Morrisons"! Super route today up the Great Glen towards Inverness. The Great Glen contains 4 lochs ( including Loch Ness) which are linked together by the Caledonian Canal (built by Thomas Telford) which allows fairly large ocean - going boats to get right across Scotland. There are a number of flights of locks on the canal and some swing bridges, one of which Aly was allowed to wind open, to her great delight ( little things...) Wonderful scenery all day, with a mixture of sunshine and the odd shower. Went past 1000 miles in mid-morning - blimey!
