This is going to be the last post including pictures of me wearing my sikk trail gear. Bummer.

How about just a picture of my shadow on the trail?

Friday we finished our mostly last day on the trail. It was a pretty long day, starting with an initial ascent up um.. I dunno, a few hundred feet. A thousand feet? Not as high as we’d been on other days, but it was pretty front-loaded. It was a rather long day too, especially coming after the relatively reasonable yesterday we’d had; I think somewhere north of fifteen miles. Luckily at this point we’re all in tip-top shape.

Because it was such a beautiful day, maybe, and maybe because it was a Friday, or maybe something else, there were a TON of people on the trail, which was maybe mildly annoying, just because you get into a pattern of passing people, then having them pass you, etc. Plus there was maybe a person on the trail that talked loudly and annoyingly the entire time, so you had to try to stay at least fifty feet away from her. (She did inspire my dad to practically sprint a half mile to create a satisfyingly large buffer behind him, so that was nice of her.)

After we got to town, we, surprisingly, drank some beers and took some showers and had dinner. I’m saving all the photos from the booming metropolis of Fort William for a single post, JSYK.
