NAVIGATION - PART TWO

Liz & Terry were with me again for their second day of navigation training. Today we went to Glen Roy and covered micro navigation techniques, including pacing and timing. This is a very quiet part of the Highlands, famous for the 'Paralell Roads' which aren't roads with cars on! They are reminences of the retreating glaciers, interesting landscape and a nature reserve. We saw no one all day, no big mountains here but great terrain for navigation with some featureless terrain. It was another very warm day, a nice breeze on the tops to keep the flies down. Some heavy showers in the late afternoon but by then we were settled into
The Glen Spean Lodge Hotel- a very comfortable place for a drink and very friendly, hospitable owners.
