The weather was gorgeous. I half heartedly decided to get a decent breakfast and then ascend Sgurr Dhonuill, which was is near Sgorr Dhearg which I'd done on the mountaineering course in Feb - usually these 2 are done in one trip.
My heart wasn't massively up for the challenge and I was concerned about having a tiring fail (the tracks through the forest were a bit patchy and I was in a bit of a rush as I had a long drive back), but the weather was the best it had been all weekend, so I dutifully went for breakfast at the cafe in Glencoe. But it was closed. In fact I struggled to find anywhere, but was enjoying driving around in the search. So much so, that I decided to start a slow and somewhat indirect cruise back home via Oban and to sack off my walk plans.
The drive was beautiful. I stopped for a walk on the beach, then for breakfast overlooking a castle in a loch (at first it was the best scrambled egg I'd ever had but it soon descended into an overly rich, sick inducing fest). I ended up doing the distillery tour in Oban and the driving back. A very nice, easy day indeed. The weather on the drive was beautiful all the way to Manchester.
