Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit- 15 miles

The walk up the road out of Invermoriston was very steep this morning but despite sore feet I never got out of breath at all. I soon passed an American couple I had met over breakfast and headed through the woods following Loch Ness. Apart form the odd person heading in the other direction that was my total encounter with human life. Plenty of wild life however with Hooded crows, Linnets, song thrushes and Jays. The Sitka spruce forests are tall and dark and contain many wind blown trees that hang over pathways  and are only held up by a  reluctant neighbour . On the trail I passed what was signposted as a cave but I think it would only fit a Hobbit. Owing to the high rainfall the forest has a dense carpet of moss covering the woodland floor. On arrival at Drumnadrochit my B and B was not open so I settled  my back against a Wellingtonia tree and listened to some music until my room was available . Only one more day of this leg left to do.
