Highland Trail 550 2018 - Day 2

Day 2 we awoke not particularly early as we were hoping to grab some food at Laggan.

A lack of fitness and a lack of food the previous day had left us tired.

On arrival at Laggan we heard Michelle who had already sourced a pair of replacement pedals, and was ordering coffee.

We also grabbed coffee and some bars to fuel the first climb of the day, the Corrieyairack Pass.


Above, we near the bothy which we've stayed at or passed on our 3 previous attempts on day 1.

Wow, we are slow.

We stop for chips and gravy in Fort Augustus, cake in Invermoriston, and generally get back on top of eating food.

It is hot, and we take plentiful breaks.


A bit of sightseeing. at Corrimony.



Yes, and more food.....


We were way behind were we wanted to be, but we were still making progress.

Camping just before Orrin Dam, we planned on hitting Contin Stores for a resupply of food and breakfast next morning.
