Unexpected Paths

Where to begin? We are being spoilt with remarkable views and quiet spots. Yet again we were the only ones on the campsite I had booked just the night before. It also happened to be right on the Great Glen Way, so we had to walk a section. We took the high route from Invermoriston to Fort Augustus with views back over Loch Ness through the clouds and many a waterfall. We met a chap along the way who had plenty of recommendations for places to visit and hike out west so the next leg of the journey was suddenly sorted! After a pit stop in Fort Augustus, where the Caledonian Canal makes an appearance along with bus loads of tourists, we took the low route back. After 13 miles I had one very sleepy spaniel.

Whilst at our campsite on our own we picked up a leaflet about Glen Affric with some hidden lochs and great walks so made a slight detour on our way to the west coast today to see Dog Falls and Coire Loch.

In teaching, I have found some of the best learning experiences come from unplanned moments. Travel I think can be the same.
