Day 12 - Fort William to Beauly

 65 miles covered.
Set off with a late start at 8:45, it was Sunday after all. Took the A road to Corpach and turned off onto a B road towards Gairlochy, a very nice quiet wee road, at Gairlochy turned left towards Clunes and at Clunes joined a 7 mile stretch of dirt track to Laggan. Then a minor road to Invergarry, then the A82 until Bridge of Oichy, then I followed the Caledonian Canal to Fort Augustus. It was then the A82 to Drumnadrochit for 18 miles.

I had lunch at Drumnadrochit and then set off for a 1 mile 15% climb on the road to Beauly but it was basically downhill for the 10 miles after that to Beauly. I got there at 3:30pm. There was some extra miles because of the Great Glen Cycleway detour but it was worth it as I was only on the A82 for 20 miles out of a possible 50.

It rained off and on all morning.
