Beauly to Alness - 28.5 miles
Left Beauly's pretty lanes and views over to the estuary as we climbed, rucksacks making their prescence known immediately! What appeared to be a short woodland trek on our map ended up as a gorse and fir tree endurance test. Trek path eventually discovered and made our way through. A local lady said the trek had not been used for years and was amazed we had managed to navigate our way through - "that's end to end explorers for you!"
The day felt tough and long with our sacks; the climb close to Strathpepper, along a ridge gave us glorious views all around and our spirit and energies were revived. (tea and scones in Dingwall helped too!)
Looking forward to Chris, Linda, Barbara (Linda's mum) and Harry joining us tomorrow!
