Walked up to an Iron Age fort off the West Highland Way. It is located on top of a hill 350m high, and a commanding position. Then worked my way down through the forest below, which was well-nigh impossible. Walked along the forestry road to the Lower Falls, which were in spectacular spate. A walk along the south bank of the River Nevis was once again a soppy affair. By 4pm, I had reached the end of the Glen Nevis road. Bats and long-tailed tits were flying about in the gathering dusk. I left at 4.20 for the hostel. Thanks to some kind-hearted folk I reached it at 5.20, whereas without the lift it would have been nearer 6pm. The weather: low cloud over the hills, temperature 13-14C and little wind. There was some drizzle.

It is amazing what a bit of sunshine will do for one... I am glad today was better for you. The view you describe sounds stupendous. And do you get any opportunity to catch up with what is going on in the world? It would be reasonable at this point in the year to wonder if one wanted to.... War, Arafat's impending demise, Reading's railcrash tragedy and the spattering of the usual suspects on the news must seem a million miles away from where you are. I hope there are people sufficiently pleasant to become acquaintanced with during your hostel stays.
