Inverness to Newtonmore - Day 18

It was a short hop today mileage wise from Inverness to Newtonmore along the A9 but not hill wise - up through Aviemore (didn't stop as appeared very commercialised and very noisy) into the Cairngorms National Park, 46 miles up and down hills, or are they moutains, not sure but definately felt like they were as the day drew on. Aah much better to leave the town and to see such beautiful moorland/hills/scenery and wildlife but exhausting to say the least!  Not saying its cold here, even with the sun out this high up, but I was wearing as many layers on as I had with me and still didn't really stop too much for too long as far too chilly, there is still snow on the top of the hills here!!!

Downhill though at the end of the day to the valley of Glentruim to a campsite nestled at the bottom - picturesque and quiet, great to relax after a very energetic day, looking forward to resting my tired body after all those hills.
