LE JOG

[Nigel]

November was a hilly month, set fast (or rather, slow) across the frozen slopes of the Grampians. Long days spent trekking west towards Elgin with the Siberian draughts behind me, and then northwards into softly falling snow to reach the sea at Nairn.

From there I headed gratefully along the sheltered shores of the Moray Firth and then across the Beauly Firth via the mighty bridge at Inverness.

The month ended in the dark depths of a Scottish winter's night. After an hour spent shiveringly shovelling a snowhole in the wilds of the Black Isle, finally I started hitching. The time had come to abandon my frosted trainers and ice-bound socks beside the road in fair exchange for the warm embrace of the Cromarty Arms just a few miles ahead...
