Day 53

Rannock Moor! - 10 miles of emptiness beween the Inveroran Hotel and Kingshouse which is at entrance to Glencoe. With dark, low clouds and some light rain the weather provided a suitable backdrop to the remote and desolate landscape. We made it to Kingshouse for lunch before setting off into Glencoe and then the 1000 foot climb up the Devil's Staircase into the Leven Valley.
Half way up the Devils Staircase it began to rain in earnest and didn't leave off until we were about 50 feet from our b&b in Kinlochleven.
I forgot to mention I developed a small blister on the side of my big toe two days ago on the northern shores of Loch Lomond and that caused my toe to be a little sore occassionally today. But I found a cure - a 5 minute break and a chocolate bar. My only blister of the journey so far.
