Going Places: The West Highland Way, Highlights 2
After Rowardennan, we moved on to Inverarnan. We spent the entire day walking along Loch Lomond. The landscape was breathtaking. Definitely my favorite day on the hike.
Wildflowers, wild goats, gnarly, mossy, trees silhouetted against Loch Lomond, every different kind of green you could possibly imagine and then more--the kind of beauty that leaves you speechless. When we decided to do this hike, this is what I imagined it would be.
After a 16-mile day, a misty rain was falling as we arrived at Beinglas Farm in Inverarnan. There were some campsites on the farm as well and we spent our hot showers thanking our lucky stars we weren't pitching a tent in the rain. They had just built these cozy cabins the previous year and it made for the most charming accommodations on the hike. And, of course, one of the oldest pubs in Scotland just happened to be a hop, skip and a jump away--Drover's Inn. We played some spades by the roaring fire and tried a few different scotches to go along with our meal. A great way to end a spectacular day.
