Not many photos on the phone today so they will be added when we return home. It rained for most of the night and all day. Relentless although slowing to only light rain at times. The paths were running water. The streams across the path were at times raging torrents. We were soaked through. Goretex is good but can only cope with so much. Boil in the bag as we climbed hills and constant downpour. Our packs were wet, our bodies were wet and our feet were wet. Not cold for the most part though. We pitched the tent at Glen Nevis, in the sunshine! We then donned our wet packs and carried on to complete the journey to Fort William, it bloody rained again as we started walking! A photo at the end taken by a lone Canadian who we had passed and been passed by several times at the end. We bought chips and a Scotch pie and ate them on a bench in the middle of the town. We started to walk back and guess what, the rain again, all the way to the tent. A shower and then a couple in the local bar to finish the day. Two knackered but happy hikers :)
Well done xxx
