29 miles today, most of it uphill, or so it seemed (2000 feet ascent). Thought we had to carry all our kit, which would have been very hard work, but Lo! A fairy godmother (called Carolyn) appeared out of the blue. We had met Carolyn very briefly at the end of one of our days in Yorkshire and she had told us that she lived in Drumnadrochit, which was on todays route, and that she would look out for us. Better than that however, she came and collected our bags from Alltsigh and delivered them to Beauly for us. What an angel!
First half of the day was still on the Great Glen way, we left it and headed north on a route we had devised ourselves. This included going through the grounds of Deaufort Castle, which we weren't sure was a public right of way. Sure enough, it wasn't. We had to wade through a river, but we made it and were very pleased with ourselves.
Pretty good weather all day with glorious sunny evening, warmest we've been on whole trip.
