Day 12 Loch Ness YH to Rogart Station

We started out at a really good pace, reaching Drumnadrochit at 15+mph. There was very little traffic which was nice. Then we turned onto the Beauly road which is signposted 15% for 0.75 miles. It was very steep and seemed much longer,we both managed it with a sense of satisfaction.

It was directly after this that David had a near death experience with a tractor round a really sharp bend which nipped back again.

We dropped down into Beauly and on to Conon Bridge and Dingwall, where we stopped for coffee.

After Dingwall, we climbed up to the moors which was a really nice gradient that can be taken, at a good pace. We had a picnic, before dropping down into Edderton.

There was an Antique fair in Edderton where we had tea and cakes.
We crossed the Dornoch bridge and went off to Dornoch as a diversion from the A9.
We arrived at Rogart Station where we stayed in first class railway carriages, complete with showers kitchen etc. The carriages were set in a delightful garden with railway memorabelia.
