DAY 6 — TGOC – to BLAIR ATHOLL via HOUSE OF BRUAR

Total of 15km … and glad … my left foot is really bugging me (quite painful)

The campground was nice … went to bed at 21:30 and pretty solidly slept till 07:00 … I really sleep well in tents and nature!

Today was planned to be the shortest and naturwise the least exciting day of the tour. First I walked to the famous HOUSE OF BRUAR … been there probably 10 times already (great outdoor and scottish clothing plus a superb food department) … to have my well deserved breakfast and ran into Paul again.

If you drive to the North of Scotland you pretty much have to pass that place at the A9 (exit Blair Atholl) … very recommendable stop! Paul and I had a long discussion and I went then on to Blair Atholl where I reserved a Pod some time ago.

Blair Castle — also a MUST to see
And here it is my Pod …

I already showered and washed my clothes and now I need to take care of my foot / leg. I still need to buy some supplies and will have dinner in a local restaurant – I take every opportunity where I can avoid eating dried food.

… and from the inside … not much there for 50GBP a night 🤨

Food for the day was Fish & Chips 🤤

Tomorrow I will go up Glen Tilt and the hike towards the best scotish ski area at Glenshee — should be a much longer day again.
