Day 2 - We set off from Dower House after a fantastic Breakfast and have to add the meal last night was amazing as well. It was absolutely pouring outside so we donned full wets and got on with our ride to Spean Bridge.
Despite the weather the scenery was its typical Scottish moodiness and we very quickly broke away from the main road and started following Sustrans 7. This went through the Glentruim castle estate, staying on the south side of the river Spey all the way to Laggan. After Laggan we went onto the forestry tracks to the north, where we got a little lost, but recovered quickly, went down a great little forest path, wee bit steep but good fun. Gravel road got better for a while so no dramas, as we headed onto Loch Laggan and Ardverikie Castle (Glen Bogle in Monarch of the Glen series), amazing setting and castle.
The road along the two Lochan h-Earba, was quite rough in places, but we soon started to see Ben Nevis, so this made up for it. We were supposed to do a bit on the other side of river Spean, but decided we would chance the A86, fast road but it was ok, only 5 miles down to Spean Bridge for our next BnB.
