May 6, 2023,T4 Schottland - Fort Augustus nach Fort William

Day 4, a relaxed cycling day is imminent. Manageable km and hm planned. Yes, planned...

In one, I don't know what to wear weather, it started in Fort Augustus. Dry, sunny, cold wind...

Relaxed and casual along the canal, past various barrages with different bridge crossings to the 1st notice about tree felling in the direction of Fort William.
