Fri/Sat 8th/9th
Friday was a cold start but another bright day, later on. I made the decision to walk a little less - today and tomorrow - to rest the ankle and relieve the blisters, and to build up strength for the final push. Spent the night in the "Crofter's suite" in a lovely hotel, where we had a meal about 5 years ago.
Saturday morning, I started off quite early, heading towards Aviemore on the quiet B9152. It was a marvellous early morning walk, as the glorious sunlight and gentle breeze played with the autumnal colours, to produce ever-changing, dancing, mosaics. Unfortunately by 9:30 this quiet idyll was shattered, as the road turned into a rat-run. Had a good lunch in Aviemore - it was very busy, on a lovely sunny afternoon.
Accommodation was not forth-coming, so I tented towards Slochd Summit.
