We thought we should find a place to put the tent up as soon as possible so we could have time to figure out just exactly how to put it up but also so we could relax and get the first night under our belts with no disasters. Unfortunately, Emma had other ideas.
I got asked by Moira Brown to travel around Scotland for a week handing out her book Questioning Lockdown. As I had just been suspended without pay for taking a stand against the covid bullshit, I had some time on my hands and so Emma and I hit the road.
As I had taken Emma to Culloden to show here where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s uprising ended, I thought I should take her to Glenfinnan to show her where it started. Then we found an absolutely amazing spot to pitch the tent and even got a fire going that evening.
We continued along the coastline to a very special place called Cove Bay. It appears listed as one of Scotland’s top ten hotspots on many lists so I dragged Emma on another walk but thankfully we reached our destination on this one, unlike the mysterious Castle in Cullen.
We set off from Loch Rannoch to Aviemore in the wrong direction but when we got to Aviemore we then had to find a place to pitch the tent. Up the top of a mountain was not the best advice we’ve ever taken.
