West Highland Way Completed, and a Naughty Heel

Image
Day 7 Walking, June 12 Edencoille, Kinlochleven to St Andrew’s Guest Housr, Fort William  14 miles, 36071 Steps, 8 hours (6 of them painful) Kinlochleven Breakfast was served continental.  I had a huge bowl of fresh fruit with a minimal amount of muesli, cold hard boiled egg, salmon, American ham, cheese platter, there were various breads and scones on the table but none of that was had. Chatted with seatmates. One couple was from Sussex, another a German couple, and two British Columbia friends walking together. Here come a group of walkers.  Felt great starting off. Collected a sandwich at the Co-Op and joined the line of WHW hikers heading out of town and up the mountain on the other side of Loch Leven. The line to hikers was similar but far different from those that are stuck on that ridge going up to Mount Everest.  Very busy though here in Scotland.  We could still step aside though and let the faster move on ahead. Sunny day to start with but later clouds...
