6 June 2022 Cape Wrath to Hastings, Walk

Day 10: Invereal – River Dundonnell glen – Loch an Nid (as celebrated in Mornington Crescent)

14 miles – limpid sunshine, warm dry air

Joy in the Morning

After feeling so despondent the day before the warm, glorious sunshine, feeling almost Mediterranean lifted my spirits. It was a day of pure joy. There was a good track and I ended up well beyond my intended destination at Loch an Nid, alone by this beautiful, tranquil expanse of water.

    Just realised that I haven’t yet posted a comment! These are the most fabulous shots so far. Nice to know that ‘joy in the morning’ can be achieved alone in the wilderness and without any obvious livestock nearby. I don’t remember that round of Mornington Crescent!
