<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><font size="3">Leaving Fort Augustus I met a moderate amount of traffic on the A82 which made cycling unpleasant. I stopped briefly at Urquhart Castle to appreciate the views and refuel in preparation for the steep climb out of Drumnadrochit. Once off the A82 at least I'd left most of the traffic behind.</font></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><font size="3">Beauly looked an attractive town as I passed through but didn't stop. I was concerned about the distance that I still had to cover to Bonar Bridge. From Conon Bridge to Dingwall there's a proper cyclepath by the side of the A862 but closer to Dingwall it rather oddly continues on the pavement. There's another longish climb leaving Dingwall but after the earlier climbs of the day, the last big climb over to Bonar Bridge didn't seem too bad. Fortunately today's weather was good for some great views of the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths.</font></span>
