Study day

My Napier University course started last week, so to keep up I organised to use the library at the Inverness campus of the University of the Highlands.

I made an early start, to get breakfast in Inverness before heading to the University. This gave me an opportunity to take some shots before the sun came up.

Caledonian Canal Inverness

The advice for the Cairngorms today was fog and rain so I headed up to Inverness – to buy a new compass as I have left mine at home and to walk along the Caledonian Canal. I parked by the River Ness and walked through the city to the Muirtown Basin, then out along the canal until it meets up with the river again.

Great Glen Way

Having dropped Jeremy and his friend off in Inverness, so they can spend some money, I am doing a few fast miles along the River Ness using some of the Great Glen Way path.

River Ness, Inverness

Before setting off I quickly checked out the two largest outdoor stores in the city centre. I still need a waterproof case for my iPhone, transparent on. both sides so I can use the camera – I could have got an Aquapac,but as the previous PVC free model I got has deteriorated, so much I cannot read the screen of my iPhone through it anymore I did not want to waste my money. So it looks like for my overnight backpack trip tomorrow I will be using a zip lock food bag to protect the iPhone from the rain whilst taking photos.

I would have bought a new pack for tomorrows trip – but I have my heart set on a Golite Jam and I could not find one. There were several rucksack special offers that almost tempted me but I had to keep reminding myself that the Jam weighs less than 900g!
