4 August 2017 – Staffin, Isle of Skye

Good drive down to Tarbert via the Callanish Standing Stones. Brilliant. Arrived at the ferry port and had a walk about stopping for tea and scones at the Gin Distillery. Good ferry again landing on Skye at 18.00. Half an hour drive round to Staffin. The campsite is not one of the greatest we have been to with some sort of booking problem (not us) but it created problems on the site and one camping car driver not a happy bunny (not us).

Left next morning for Armadale for the ferry to Mallaig. Arrived early but good walk about and a delicious bacon buttie for lunch. Drove from Mallaig down to Fort William and the Glen Nevis site. Arrived late so decided to have a meal at the pub. Unfortunately not up to our expectations so will not be going there again.

Both did a short run below Cow Hill. Drove into Fort William for some food shopping and a walk about. Late afternoon did some laundry.

Walked into Fort William via the Peat Trail. 2 hours there and back. Small walk in the evening alongside the riverside due to the fact that a new bridge has been put in near the Information Centre and the path made wheelchair friendly.

Next morning ran the new path we had checked out then cycled to Neptunes Staircase for coffee. In the evening walked to the pub below Ben Nevis for a drink.

10  August 2017 – Glen Nevis, Fort William

Maureen ran this morning 20 mins up the hill then turned, a cold wind today. After the run cycled into Fort William for a coffee and lunch then onto Neptunes Staircase again this time returning through Caol. Showed Maureen where I learned Explosives.
