Aryhoulan ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Fort Augustus
After my fabulous & nearly midge free wildcamp (slightly breezy) it’s a very pleasant 14kms to the Highlands ferry back across the loch to Fort William & โฆ
โฆ a few days rest (accommodation ๐ซฃ) 9km out of town at the Nevis MTB downhill trails range ๐ต
Nevis Range downhill ๐ต slopes you’ll be guaranteed of some top-end mountain bikes to purr over. Along with bit of bling โญ too! Hats off to you at the @commencal store โฆ the best vending machine I’ve ever seen.
Out of the Nevis Range ๐ & quickly skirt past the grubby town of Fort William! Soon onto the southern end of the Caledonian Canal at Corpach. Presently ๐ค๏ธ the canal path is a lovely grey-powdery-gravel โฆ
โฆ onto quiet back rds & single track, then gravel again. Found a wildcamp in the open looking out over Loch Lochy with ‘The Ben’ Nevis still in view ๐ #fujix100t โฆ
โฆHow’s it I’m in ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ with my tent up, but I can’t yet get into it as yet (1800hrs) as it’s so hot inside ๐
Awoke to see kayakers had landed further down ๐ฃ The day had everything, pine forests, canal trails, single track, switch-backs, tall ships through locks & a long coffee break chatting with ‘Great Glen Way’ hikers ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถโฆ
โฆ stopped 10kms south of Fort Augustus on the bank on the river Oich. Had a dip ๐ฌ Again it was quick! #fujix100t
