Cornmill bunkhouse to The Garvault hotel

We set off in the morning down a long, single track road heading South. The scenery had really changed since we entered Sutherland. The hills and lochs are getting bigger and stretch into the distance... We reached Badenloch where we met Jan, Graham and all the guys from Highlands Unbridled, who had ridden over from Brora on the east coast. We turned Cognac out with their six ponies (all mares- lucky boy!) and I got a lift with them up the road to the Garvault Hotel- the most remote hotel in Britain. Beautiful views from all directions! I got to know everyone in the bar (!) before joining them for dinner and retiring to my tent in the hotel garden.
