Land at last!

17 June 2021 | Fort william

We managed to get ashore today! Due to less wind, less rain and definitely less waves! So off we set for a walk, I wanted to go to Neptune’s staircase, a series of lochs one after the other approximately 3miles from fort William, on our way we bumped into a very nice lady and her dog who suggested that we turn left at a bridge before going to NS, what a find a lovely little castle (inverlochy castle) a few yards from our route and a lovely tea room and Scottish soap company shop. We definitely need soap as we seem to be going through it like a dose of salts, I think mainly because of the lovely soft water here. Further down the track in the distance we saw what we thought was smoke, but it was steam, a beautiful steam engine in the heart of the Scottish countryside, you couldn’t plan it!
On our way back we decided to catch a film, I may ask myself was that my way of delaying our return to the boat!? We saw The Father with Olivia Coleman and Anthony Hopkins, very thought provoking but it was definitely not an uplifting film! Thankfully the return trip to the boat was uneventful - phew!
