Sunday 24/10/04

Got up at 9 and went out for a walk at 10. Headed out to Glasnacardoch. The weather was grey and cold, with the last vestiges of brightness fast disappearing to the west. The rain finally caught up with me at midday, and lasted for 2 1/2 hours. Walked to Loch Nostarie and a little beyond. It is very wet on the ground. Had wanted to go to Loch Eireagoraidh, but met the man with the hammer. The wind was a bitingly cold easterly. Returned to Mallaig at 3pm. Found I needed new waterproof trousers and bought them in a local store. Went for a lasagna at the Marine Hotel at 6.30.
