Sunrise at the lochside. A castle visit. A wander around Inverness city and river islands. Put Dave on a bus back home, but I stayed.

Dave and I went on a mini adventure to the Highlands. We stopped over in Inverness, then bussed to a quiet hostel on the side of Loch Ness.
We promptly proceeded to climb Meall Fuar-mhonaidh, going extremely the long way around. A few wrong-side-of-the-fence mishaps, and forcing our way through ferns taller than me. We were also delayed by vast quantities of chanterelles.
After descending, we reached a small and lovely tea room / pottery barn, just in time for rain. So we stayed a while for cake.
The route back took us along the Great Glen Way.
That evening I made wild mushroom stir fry to share with the couple of other people in the hostel. Dave had a pizza.
Ben Lawers (from Lawers) and back in 4.5 hours today. The clouds cleared up on the way down. Learnt some stuff about rocks.
7 miles, but Runkeeper doesn't know about altitude... (GPS trace).
