Another fine, if not quite sunny morning and the lady at the bunkhouse commented that winter was definitely over. Although she wouldn't be drawn on whether spring has sprung.
It is a fine bunkhouse literally in the middle of nowhere, 45 minutes into Inverness if you forget the milk! But a great base for bagging munroes.
I have really slowed down the pace to enjoy the highlands and made many stops along the way including lael arboretum, a walk around the tree world.
This was about midway down a 5 mile downhill, I don't recall the uphill being that bad yesterday so I must be getting fitter.
It seemed to be downhill virtually all the way and so I have done another coast to coast of at least two on this trip.
I am sitting typing this whilst waiting for the sunset over the western isles, I am not sure what time it will be, it is 8.30 and still has a way to go, but it is warm here on the shore. I am also accompanied by a seal also out to enjoy the evening sun, or more likely the fish on the incoming tide.
I also enjoyed a local fish pie and my first Scottish strawberries of the season and will now take a local wee dram to round off the occasion.
It took until 10pm to get the sun set shot.
