What a beautiful campsite I left, but spoiler, the day 2 one was even more beautiful. I was initially planning to take the originally planned route over the mountain, but decided against it and went around – added 8 km l, but likely saved a couple of hours and also allowed me to visit the falls of glomach.
Lots of path less walking today with plenty of deer sightings (no walkers though) and really low water levels. The river ling is normally not crossable … no problems today.
And plenty of deer on the way – can you count the ones on the ridge?
Walking up Glen Elchaig I eventually turned towards the Falls of Glomach. I decided to do that because there was still water coming down. And after a very steep gorge walk I saw them.
And then for another 3 km looking for the perfect camping place.
What can I say — even with a shower and pool.
Day 3
The following day I decided against climbing the Sgurt nan Ceathramhnan because of the water scarcity on the ridge. Instead I went around into Glen Affric, passing the Youth Hostel (!!!) and the followed the Affric Kentale trail for about 10km – felt like a highway … saw at least 10 walkers.
Halfway down the lake I took a tiny path to Dougie passing through an ancient scot pine forest.
After another 10km I reached Cougie and my campsite.
