Day 11 - Stables of Lee to Tarfside

Today was another early morning rise. Early to bed, early to rise!! Tim slept in the stable as his tent pole is compromised. He has a bivy sack around his sleeping mat and sleeping bag, slept like a baby.

It rained a bit in the night, the tent was put away wet- yuck.

We walked to Tarfside with Douglas and Tim. It was beautiful through the Glen of Lee.

We had a tiny bit of road walking then were back on trail into Tarfside. At the hostel here the volunteers were cooking like mad to have snack and meals prepared. We had coffee and bacon rolls. We were conflicted if we should knock off some route this afternoon since we arrived so early. Sam and James from Devon are heading our way tomorrow- we could hitch a ride with them. It will make for two long days but we decided to stay the night here and head out tomorrow. We will aim for two longer days and end at Dunnotar Castle Wednesday. We will then bus down to our B and B and head to Montrose on Thursday!

We also snagged a room at the hostel tonight!! Bunk beds for Kir and I. We got to shower and refresh before the next two trekking days. It is hard to believe we are this far in already!!

Apparently the forest can offer many false trails and it is quite easy to get turned around. There is a short bit of heather whacking tomorrow- insert groan here, but it should be our last!

Kir is showering right now, I will be next. A great refresh for the last haul.
