On the northern side of Ben Nevis under the towering mountaineering routes lies the CIC Hut. On a very pleasant day we walked up the Valley to visit the hut. Chas climbed from here in the 60's. The hut has been modified since then, now complete with its own turbine generator. However the hut was locked and only available to members of the Scottish Mountaineering Club and others with a key. Following days saw us travelling to Glen Lyon promoted as " the longest, loneliest and loveliest glen in Scotland" . We agree, a must see valley in Scotland. Our trip was coming to an end and we decided to have a day in Edinburgh on our way back to Bill's. We stayed close by and caught the early train in to Waverley station and spent the day at the royal mile absorbing all the goings on of the Fringe Festival. A really magic way to finish our Scottish tour.
We are now back at Bill's preparing to come home leaving on Tuesday and arriving back in Dunedin late Thursday afternoon. Catch up then.
