We are in Kings House

So on the morning of June 30th we left Tyndrum for Inveroran and made great time. We were mostly walking on an old cobbled military road so the pace can be quick. We made it to the Inveroran Hotel by 3 pm. We left there this morning and walked 11 more miles to the Kings House Hotel. This is the only accommodation in this area and were lucky to have booked two rooms a week ago. Otherwise we would have had to have been bused 15 minutes away to another place.

It is hard to describe what we have seen over the past few days because the views have been so awesome! Huge valleys and mountains that seem to appear from no where.  Dad's WHW book said the scenery would dramatically change and it certainly did.

I have lots of pictures but due to some very slow internet here its been impossible to upload any pictures. I am going to have to wait until we can get a more reliable connection. I am hoping that will be tomorrow. In the mean time I am going to leave you with some thoughts.
