We left
Kincraig and sped along a B road to
Aviemore. A lot of development here since my last visit. 30 years ago by my reckoning. Much more snow visible on
Cairngorm. A strong v.cold wind, did I mention a HEADWIND. The climb up to
Slochd Pass was gradual and we made good time. After that the route was mainly downhill, but it did get colder, we had layers and layers on, winter gloves and fleece headbands. Stopped at
Clava Cairns, a 5000 year old burial site. Then off to
Inverness. As we got close we had hail, just to bolster our spirits. Found a B&B close to the town centre which should mean a choice of restaurants for tonight. We have discovered the
Cromarty ferry is not running as it is not fully built yet. A pity as it is the smallest UK ferry carrying just 4 cars. Alternate route is no further and looks flatter, much to Ann's relief.
