Now I’ve been extremely bad and neglected to post the last few days! I hope to be more diligent on the PCT.

Apart from a bit of mud-hopping early on this was an easy day to Bridge of Orchy, at the edge of Rannoch Moor.

The Bridge of Orchy hotel used to have a bunkhouse and was very welcoming to walkers, and indeed many years ago I enjoyed a cup of tea here after a particularly wet day. Another year I used the bunkhouse – and another I camped nearby next to the river! (Yes, I’ve done the WHW a few times…). However now the hotel has been refurbished and is chasing a higher-class (or heavier wallet-ed) clientele. But don’t despair, the station buildings at the nearby railway are now a bunkhouse! Freddy knew the owners and thankfully they had a spare space due to a cancellation. A bed!
