Day 7 of 8 - LEJOG. Penultimate day!

Glencoe to Tain, 119 miles 6000ft climbing. A stunning view point to start with, bridges over the Lochs, Ben Nevis (in the clouds), Commando Memorial, Loch Lochy, canal paths to Fort Augustus, a 5 mile climb to Loch Tarff, 10 mile drop to Loch Oich, lunch at Dores, and the famous Loch Ness. Kessock Bridge and Dingwall for a bite to eat. The last 20 miles was continuous rain so we all turn up at Tain looking like drowned rats! A cracking meal and hotel seeing us all nicely into our last day tomorrow.
