Had a good days ride up to Loch Ness. The scenery in scotland is truly awsome. After some debating of pros and cons we decided to put up the tent for the night. Ended up in Fort Augustus on the south shore of Loch Ness. There is a stairs of locks leading into Loch Ness if you are comig by boat. Quite interesting to watch. Even though it is managed by hydraulics today it was interesting to see that they still have kept the old turntables wich where horse/donkey operated at one time.
We did not see a slight glimpse of old nessie, but it is good fun to see how they manage to make money in every touristshop due to that old tale.
On our way up to Nessie, we passed the Commando Memorial in tribute to the fallen commandos from WW2. A very moving place wich still honors the fallen men in service up until this day. very moving and a quick check back to reality.
Since we did pitch our tent we hoped for good weather….did not come. Woke up in the middle of the night i pooring rain and hard winds. That just makes camping so much more fun…not. Henriette went out checking on the bikes and that everything was tight and stuck to the ground. Håkan was mumbling in the tent about the need for checking things…Left this morning for Isle of Skye. The ride there is another story….
