Highlights of the Trip

I've been mulling this over since getting back and decided to list the Top 12. Some ovbious ones and some surprises have made the cut.

5 - The sections of the Ridgeway between Chiseldon and Goring, especially the town  of Goring
6 - The sections of the Great Glen Way between Gairlochy and Drumnadrochit, especially Invermoriston
