Wandering Walkers 10 - 11

DAY 10
We gave our bodies a day off in Kinlochleven, relaxing at our hotel which had a great view down Loch Leven, which is a sea loch.

We ventured out for a wander around the village during a break in the rain, had to take shelter in a bus stop when it rained again. There was fresh snow on the mountain tops.

DAY 11

The final 24 kms. We climbed up back into the mountains from Kinlochleven at sea level.

Up into the rain on our way to a high glen and pass.

 The sun broke through the clouds. The glen was starkly beautiful.

We passed some ruins of houses and farm buildings. This would have been a lonely place to live and farm.

 Only sheep live here now.

And probably deer. This little fellow bounded across the track lower down. We have seen deer several times along the Way.

The rain ceased by lunch time and Ben Nevis, UK's highest mountain came into view.

We descended through pine forest, some logged, down to Fort William at sea level.

One strange phenomenon we encountered all along the Way - single lost gloves. There must be hundreds wandering the mountains looking for their partners. Seriously, we saw at least two dozen lonely lost gloves lying by the track.

We had the obligatory photo taken at the official end of the West Highland Way.

 And celebrated with Bramley Apple Crumble and coffee. Yum!

We did it! All 155 kms! Sheryl reckons she wants to do a 1,000 km walk now - and we just might.

Bring on the next adventure!
