Rained till 9:00 this morning … but my plan was anyway not to leave before 10:30 towards Kingussie and on to the impressive Ruthven Brarracks. Weather is supposed to be decent and I sure hope that holds true, as I will be camping for the next two nights I had to resupply food and blister bandages plus a can of beer for tonight 🍺
I was supposed to be an easy day — only 24km, 400 altitude meters and a mere 7 hours of walking time. The Drumguish Distillery was supposedly on my path. I found a sign one time and then hoped it was towards the village of Drumguish … would make sense. But I guess that was wrong … never found the place 😢
Then I descended down into Glen Feshie … had to cross a river again (remember to bring Crocs — saved me several times) and then walked along the river for another three / four kilometres passing a very nice bothy.
Tonight it is supposed to rain very hard for a couple of hours with the remainder of the day fine. I will read a little bit today … I am carrying a real book with me that I have not opened once yet. You are either to tired or simply cannot concentrate after such a strenuous trip. Today I feel strong 💪 enough though!
That also means that I will likely go to bed around 20:00 and with that may actually leave tomorrow quite early. I am ahead of my schedule and theoretically could reach Braemar tomorrow already, but I will most likely take an easy day and camp again half way.
