Day 14 - 06.06.09 Carbisdale to Tongue

Distance - 50 miles
Average speed - 9.3 mph
Time - 8 hours

Today was supposed to be more of a rest day with a shorter mileage, but turned into a very wearing day with full on northerly winds blowing into our faces the whole way, as we travelled high up over exposed moorlands. It felt as though the whole day was going up hill and made our progress very slow - slowest average speed of the trip ! Hostel was on Kyle of Tounge which was beautiful and the sun came out again in the afternoon as we approached and lit up Ben Loyal and Ben More, a very impressive sight and a very scenic corner of Scotland. Feeling pretty excited as tomorrow is the last day and can't believe we have come so far - can't wait to get there !! (Another bowl of pasta for tea!)
