๐Ÿ“Œ Viewpoint in Glen Affric, Highland
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Well done on making it this far, to the end of the tarmac in Glen Affric. Surely a 15-minute walk can’t be worth a drive twice that long from the nearest village? Well, on a clear day, it certainly is, even if the incredibly tame chaffinches deplete your meagre lunch rations. The drive here is epic enough, but the dramatic views from the top of this tiny hill show that this is only the beginning of the “proper” part of the glen. Easily combined with a wander along the Garbh-uisge.
