day 1 home to aviemore via inverness


i will be onest distance 49.5 miles not quite the 50, the most glorious weather. Left home and keith at about 9.30 brifly saw wendy mark and sophie, and then along by the beauly firth to Isobel's, then we cycled up past raigmore hospital to culloden battlefield, which was scarely sunny, I have never seen it without rain or hail before. clava cairns were as seren as ever, and the route took us through moy along the old road south. mealmore nursing home looked as gloomy as ever even in the sunlight. So we passed dafffodils new born lambs birds of prey in the sky - Wordsworth would have written a poem, then reached aviemore in time to sit outside and have a cup of tea in conditions that should resemble the south of france. isobel got her train back and so far i have a room to myself at th youth hostel My bike is nicely settled in the bike shed please forgive the spelling £1 for 20 mins on the internet
