We entered the Caledonian canal yesterday, in misty and drizzly weather.
I thought that Britain's highest mountain was round here somewhere but we didn't see it, perhaps it has moved!
We got through the locks pretty well, despite a few glitches which I am sure that Jim will describe later.
The main stretch was Neptune's Staircase - a set of 8 lochs in succession climbing a steep hill.
I had not realised that these were so famous and that travelling through made us part of the tourist attraction!
Lots of people asking lots of questions, all desperate to undo your ropes and throw them back - often when you did not want them to! We had to watch them like hawks!
Off along the canal again today, see how far we get.
Good luck to Abigail with her next A level.
