Day 15 - Inchnadamph Forest to Glendhu Bothy

Another monumental day for us, with more indescribable views. Just when we think our toughest days are behind us we have another one like today. We thought with the 5-6 km we shaved off yesterday, that today would be relatively easy. Wrong!

Break Time At Tiny Shelter

We had three long climbs, but each one rewarded us with amazing views. We are currently seeing large rocky mountains, high mountain lochs, and rugged landscapes during our walks. We have passed a number of sea lochs in the past few days, which are very breathtaking as you come over the mountain passes. We keep getting the smell of the sea in the air. As I mentioned last night it is a very unique and beautiful area, and I am so excited that we got this far, and that I am getting a chance to see it.
Tonight we are at Glendhu bothy. It is in a very picturesque location on the shore of Loch Glendhu. 

Glendhu Bothy - At Very Right Of Sea Loch

There are a couple of families here who have walked in from Kylestrome, which is only 6 km away. I am not sure, but I think tomorrow is a Bank Holiday here in the UK. Unfortunately for us they are using the bothy tonight as a bit of a holiday spot, which I don’t think is the intent of them. Oh well, I will be asleep soon and they can carry on as much as they want. It is nice to be out of the rain, and maybe 2-3 degrees warmer!

The Boys In Their Cocoons In The Bothy

I think we are definitely on the countdown now. We have 2.5 days of walking left. The boys are like machines during the day, just eating up the kilometres. I am consistently bringing up the rear, forcing them to stop and let me catch up. I am pretty sure we are all looking forward to some different kind of days in Edinburgh once we finish up with the hiking. As with other similar trips I have done, I am starting to have mixed emotions: relief, satisfaction, sadness, and anticipation. Finishing this will be bitter-sweet for sure.
