Rain had struck from midnight to the morning, and I set off when it had stopped near 10, continuing through the unpathed and boggy wilderness. The weather was good, but descending to Loch Cuaich the rain started again until I had reached the head of the loch. On along the hydro aquaduct which goes all the way to Dalwhinnie, crossing under the A9, only major road to be met on the whole trip. A short break for an Irn-Bru at the petrol station, and then following Loch Ericht on the private road to the palatial Ben Alder lodge, where I headed into the hills. By dusk I pitched on the wet moor (NN55987845), under the rain which had started once more. Performed 17 miles today, and nearly back on plan! |   |
