Inverness Friday 12 June 2015
Start: Auchnahillin
Finish: Inverness
Miles walked today: 10
Total miles: 906
I feel quite guilty today - only ten miles walked...
I'm glad I've camped once (so far) in Scotland but I didn't sleep too well. It was quite cold and a bit noisy.
"I've got that nasty cough dear, and you have a habit of talking to me all night long, what shall we do tonight?"
"I know, let's go camping! "
At 2.00 am the night before at the hostel in Aviemore three men decided to turn in. One of them had a weird respirator which made a strange noise. They were bikers. I thought about saying something... and decided not to.
Tent packed away, and fully woken by Margaret and Tom's coffee, I was walking in misty conditions by 7.30. As I approached Inverness (quite directly on roads I'm afraid) the sun came out and I was able to drop my pack at Market Brae Guest House and search Inverness for some breakfast ...
Inverness entertained me for a few hours until Jim's flight landed and he got off the bus at around 3.30. Lovely to see him, of course.
In the evening Jim suggested a game of pool and the loser would buy dinner. He's not so daft, my son. Best of three - he let me win one...
We tried a couple of popular places to eat, but, unsurprisingly, they were all booked solid. Luck took us past a busy tapas bar and we squeezed into a corner. The food was delicious and the place had an energetic and fun atmosphere. Perfect. Jim 1 - 0 up :)
