We awoke to fantastic views of Ben Nevis in the sunshine through our BnB window. In fact the weather gods were set to smile on us all day.
So off into the glens and foot hills of the mighty Ben Nevis, with the knowledge that we were heading to the sea at Fort William, downhill !
You can’t ask for anything more majestic than having Ben Nevis as your backdrop for your ride and pictures :-). We follow the Sustrans 78, or East Highland Way down to Fort William, with many photo opportunities on the way.
In FW we stopped for midday coffee (& a beer 🤪), after a quick photo stop of Inverlochy castle, then we started the next leg of the trip, the ‘Great Glen Way’. Of course it was important for us to go right down to the start of the Caledonian canal and head off from there. Wind was not in our favour, so cycled into a 20km headwind, thank goodness for “Turbo mode” on the bikes. Difficult to capture the majesty of Ben Nevis as we cycle past it, so not too many pics.
