Day 5 Invermorrison to Drumnadrochit

Day 5 pictures
Today was to be our biggest day so far with 22 km from Invermorrison to Drumnadrochit, or the Drum as it's known.
Walking along Loch Ness with a couple of pretty good climbs and lots of forest.
There are in fact few view of the loch, however when present worth getting.
Some of the walk was through menacingly dark forest with overhanging branches and rather evil mossy undergrowth. It was also on very pleasant single file track.
It was also very cold with a biting wind when we left the forest and became exposed.

Loch Ness back to Fort Augustus

We climbed and we descended, we climbed some more until lunch when we stopped near the final climb, to savour our repast. My panini disaster was resurrected by a microwave at the B and B and wasn't too bad, albeit cold.
Of course after lunch there was another hill and we stumbled upon a large group of walkers having lunch. They were doing it easy, with a barge on the loch retrieving them every evening  and moving them along the bits they didn't want to walk.
Finally we descend into Drum a nice little village with a pub on the outskirts that is delighted to hand over a couple of beers.
The Drum is also the home of the Official and the Original Loch Ness Monster Centre and attracts people from all over the world.
It was also the home, two days ago of the highland games, though the oval they were held on is quite minuscule. I think a caber could be thrown right across the entire field, if you were any good.
Our accommodation, Tramps, is comfortable, has wi-fi however no single room for me.
Luckily there is an Indian cafe on the outskirts of town, at the end of the road the B and B is on, so it's vindaloo, and not too bad one either.
Arrienne and Peter's choices were somewhat more flaky.
A cheap Australian Shiraz made things much more pleasant.
Tomorrow, Inverness the end-29 kms away-think of the feet.
