Let me start with Loch Ossian Youth Hostel, which was fully occupied and no one was in the youth age 😂 — male and female separated 16 people per room. It was crowded but funny. Went to bed relatively early … because I know what happens in these setups … the first one that goes to sleep survives the best especially with earplugs.
Very friendly staff and even one shower available — besides the fact that it was quite heavily raining that was also a reason that I stayed longer. Who knows when the next opportunity is?
The weather forecast changed again for the worse and promised improved conditions after 10:00 — NOT TRUE! It got worse before it finally turned OK in the late afternoon.
I took a detour from my planned trip avoiding the Munros that were invisible anyway and to spare my feet the extra altitude meters and likely aweful path conditions — and it actually feels better now!
Met some Challengers at the YH already and also passed John, who is one of the oldest participants with more than 20 completed crossings. Very nice man! He also later on joined my campsite.
Tomorrow I planned another easy day – again around 25km – to Tummel Bridge. Before that I will need to buy some supplies … I am out of food now. There are two hotels on my way and maybe I get up early to enjoy a full scotish breakfast 🍳
