Rob Roy Way – Day 6 (Part 2)
12th May 2023: Aberfeldy to Pitlochry – 9.5 miles It’s hard to start walking again once you’ve stopped for a while. I wasn’t sure if it was better that I’d

12th May 2023: Acharn to Aberfeldy – 12.6 miles Apologies for being a little behind in posting these updates, as nice as the Old Mill in Acharn was, my room
11th May 2023: Killin to Acharn – 17.1 miles I think I now have a full blown head cold. I started sneezing on the way back to town on the
10th May 2023: Kingshouse to Killin – 11.5 miles I ‘fixed’ the issue with the curtains in my room, so I slept through until about 6am and then grabbed a
9th May 2023: Callander to Kingshouse – 13.2 miles I was awake at 4am, 5am and 6.30. The ill fitting curtains in my room were letting in too much light
8th May 2023: Aberfoyle to Callander – 10.2 miles I slept well again, despite the duvet cover being too short to cover my toes, so I arranged it diagonally on
7th May 2023: Drymen to Aberfoyle – 10.9 miles I slept really well considering I was in a strange (single) bed and an unfamiliar location. I awoke about 6am, but

20th May 2022: Kincraig to Newtonmore – 13.5 miles I met another of my fellow guests last night as I was putting a bottle of water in the little communal
19th May 2022: Boat of Garten to Kincraig – 13 miles It seems I jumped to premature (and incorrect) conclusions last night, and in my grump I bundled Fraoch Lodge
18th May 2022: Grantown to Boat of Garten – 11 miles The Ben Mhor Hotel is cheap. It’s £42.50 for a single en-suite room, so almost half the price of
17th May 2022: Cragganmore to Grantown – 15 miles Day 4 on a long distance walk is when stuff begins to hurt. I’ve done plenty of two day walks this
16th May 2022: Dufftown to Cragganmore – 15 miles I imagine today’s walk report is going to be quite short. Despite the route only being a couple of miles short
15th May 2022: Fochabers to Dufftown – 17.5 miles I have the full set, all nine of them: 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. I remember
14th May 2022: Buckie to Fochabers – 11 miles Oh my goodness, I’m in post-walk heaven! I’ve had one of the best showers I’ve ever experienced outside my own home,
Looking Behind This time last year we were just coming out of what was hopefully the final lockdown in England – I was also just coming out the back of
16th June 2021: Selkirk to Hawick – 14 miles I escaped in to the murk and mizzle at exactly 7am – unlike the plucky soldiers and airmen who escaped from
