In the afternoon we walked a circular route from Carrbridge to Sluggan Bridge, through forests and high green meadows with old juniper bushes. We saw rabbits and heard a cuckoo. The weather was glorious and it got warmer and warmer as the afternoon progressed. We walked 13 km and it took us 3 hours which I think is a good speed considering the heat. I flagged a bit in the middle mainly because I was getting very hot. I drank loads of water and kept needing to go to the toilet! But I got a second wind towards the end and it was a very good walk, with beautiful views across the valley.
Later Alison made us a wonderful dinner. Bruschetta and a mushroom risotto were followed by chocolate fondants which were amazing - when you stuck your spoon into them a delicious chocolate melting middle came oozing out.
