5 Munro's, river jumping and whiskey tasting


After having a well deserved lie in this morning we started the day 12:00pm (much later than originally planned). We got our first real taste of Scottish weather today on the last 2 summits with strong winds and heavy rain but can't really complain because it has been a long time coming and all in all the walk was good. As we walked back to our trusty van, soaked head to toe, we saw a bridge over a river with very deep water.We thought it would be rude not to jump in! The last few nights we have been using the famous Clachaig Inn in Glen Coe as a base. Living in our bright orange van it is difficult to stay inconspicuous, as a result the Clachaig staff began to notice us. We were very lucky to enjoy a 'Benromach' whiskey tasting evening courtesy of the Gordon from the Clachaig Inn. Thanks for the Whiskey Glass and the T-Shirts. I'm sure everyone reading this blog will have heard of the Clachaig, but if you haven't it is definitely worth checking out. (they have a selection of nearly 300 whiskeys) http://www.clachaig.com/
