Day 9 - Arrived at Dornie


After a snoring night in the Hostel (Sail Mohr Croft) in Dundonnell, our day started with thick porridge, black coffee and rain. Passing Loch Gairloch, we climbed steep hills, all of us soaking wet. We carried on until we got to the Applecross decision point at Kinlochewe, where, for safety reasons, considering the decent and the terrible weather, we decided to avoid this route. After lunch in Kinlochewe, we started off our best climb yet (700ft over 4 miles). On the decent, the rain started to soak through the plastic bags covering our feet ! Arriving at the Lochcarron Hotel, we had a snack and continued on next to the picturesque Eilean Donan Castle, where we had B&B arranged.
