12th May
A bit more cloud cover this morning, it was warm all night and very humid unsurprisingly there are thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon.
A good walk through the forest to Invergarry but there was a confusing bit just before joining the minor road as the map showed a large bridge that is no longer there.
Invergarry was great for coffee and cake 🍰 before walking a bit of the Great Glen Way to the Bridge of Oich and the Café where I had a food parcel to collect.

There was quite a lot of storm damage in the forest but the path was clear.

Up a steep track behind the cafe and then it was heather bashing over the hill to the Corryairack Pass and the bothy. There were two Slovenians at the bothy when I arrived who were on an east-west crossing.

The weather remained good so I put up the tent only for a huge thunderstorm to come over the hill.

A few more arrived later and in the morning there were 4 Tgo'ers, 2 cyclists and the 2 Slovenians!
12.5 miles walked 760 meters ascent
