Day 13: Loch Ness to Carbisdale Castle 73 miles
A good day with the rain staying off other than the occasional heavy shower, though the wind was very strong and cold on the road from Ardross to Bonar Bridge however the views were stunning.
Carbisdale Castle is a beatiful building and the last thing you would expect from a youth hostile. Whilst the rooms are the standard 6-10 bunk bed format the common area rooms are very imposing.
Martyn and Seamus who I meet at Aust on day 4 and warned me not to turn left at Drumnadrochit because of the 20% climb for a mile or so, so of course I had to turn left and see for myself. It certainly woke me up, but I did it and I can tick that one off along with Shap, Slaidburn etc.
The challenge for tomorrow is a 113 mile final leg or 103 if I can get the bike over the local railway bridge, so wish me luck.
