Walk along the River Oich

A fine dry day so we drove over the mountain and skirted Loch Tarff on the way to Fort Augustus. Spotted two stags silhouetted on the hilltop and a gushing waterfall tumbling down the hillside. Drove through the village and turned left at the sign to Jenkins Park and Auchterawe. At the end of this rather bumpy track we parked in the car park and strolled though the woods admiring the magnificent seasonal colours. The large elm trees were especially grand and still dressed in leaves of various autumn shades. Underfoot we walked on carpets of leaves and pine needles. After a peaceful stroll we took a right hand path leading down to the River Oich which was gushing along at a good speed and bubbling over the rocks at certain points. Ray has been here fishing and had knowledge of the various pools allowed for fishing. We did not meet a soul and it was a most refreshing walk on a November morning.
