Hiking 3:00:00 [3]
Finished up with 24k to Fort William.
This was a good hiking trip. It gave lots of opportunity for David to talk about important things with me.
David will be transferring to UVM this fall. Starting Monday.
We have recommendations about which places to stay (and not stay), and eat, if you ever do the West Highland Way.
We did run into midges a couple times, but it wasn't too bad. Ideally one would not hike during midge season though.

Hiking 3:00:00 [3]
West Highland Way: to King's House Hotel. Amazing stretch of terrain, highly recommended.
The hotel itself: a big thumb's up for the view, the fine room, and the bathtub. Also, heated drying racks and a washer and dryer available for guests. Food looks to be good, though we haven't dug in yet. And, they have a piano. David is playing as we speak.

Hiking 3:00:00 [3]
First real encounter with midges, and it was brief, toward the end of the hike. We kept moving after that. The hotel was clear: keep the windows closed, always. But in the morning (23rd Aug), no midges, a fine wind and a wonderful hiking day.
This hike was really good, as they all have been. First rainy day, clearing as we walked.

Walking 3:00:00 [2]
Rowardennan to Inversnaid on the West Highland Way. We took the high road. The low road was under construction. We've had terrific weather the first four days, but we're heading into a period of rain. Tomorrow's trek is supposedly the scrappiest and we've heard we'll be glad to be done with it.

Orienteering race 42:54 [3] 3.4 km (12:37 / km) +100m 11:00 / km
That was fun. Really fun navigating and nothing annoying like flies or lots of thick vegetation.
Emma won the open sprint yesterday, and Isabel won her course today.

Hiking 2:00:00 [2]
Solo hike up to Cairn Gorm from the base of the funicular. It was very windy, with some driving rain, but it cleared as I made the final ascent, treating me to some great views.

Orienteering race 1:21:36 [3]
Did poorly on this race. Day 2 of Scottish 6-day. I had trouble finding #5, losing 8 or 9 minutes. Otherwise, just slow. Enjoyed reading the map though.
