Last day of the Loch Ness mini tour
Tomorrow I have to be back in Findhorn for a briefing before next week’s work week with HARP. This morning I wake up in a parking area on ‘General Wade’s military Road’, which runs along the East coast of Loch Ness. I spend some time walking the trails from Inverfarigaig, which is a pretty cool place. Lots of big craggy hills, and a river flowing fast into the Loch. Finally I head across country, via the back roads, to Forres, where Craig, my co-focaliser for the week ahead, has agreed to let me stay for the night. I’m grateful for a shower and a chance to get some washing done.
I’ll have to upload photos when I get a better internet connection
- Lobaria Pulmonaria, a type of lichen fallen from a tree, as big as my foot
- A close up of the underside of Lobaria pulmonaria
- This is a liverwort, a more basic life form than a plant, and not a lichen
- Cladonia, possibly polydactyla, looking like a small fairy village
- A bench on the green walk at Inverfarigaig
- As I’m sat on the bench I’m blessed by the company of another Crossbill
