Drumnadrochit to Invermoriston

I had wanted to take Cognac for a paddle in the morning in Loch Ness, as just by Borlum it is shallow and sandy. Duncan had advised me on the way to go the night before but I was a bit late setting off and as it was in the opposite direction I just cracked on with the days ride. The first part of the Great Glen Way was a steep climb so I leaf Cognac up this. When we got further along the view opened up and we looked down onto Loch Ness. We followed it all day until we met Debbie Cox, who I was staying with, having meet her through the website Equine Ramblers UK. She had unexpectantly ridden out to meet us and escorted us back to her house. Where I met her two beautiful twin sons. Cognac went out in a big grassy field, with Debbie's two ponies next door and I had the spare room in the house. A shower and a bed and a proper meal was very much appreciated after camping in the rain the night before!
