Today's was the longest day so far with highest point so far with what turned out to be the most climbing so far. Yet, we also have the firm knowledge that the day after tomorrow will be harder still.
But first we had the 13+ miles from Laggan to Fort Augustus.
Actually before that we had the most excellent breakfast at our amazing guest house. An incredibly good day to start the day.
GGW day 3 - Laggan Locks to Fort Augustus
