RSPB Nature Reserve, Glenborrodale


The beautiful summers evening we'd spent on the beach at Morar seemed like a dream today. The rain relentless, the cloud low, us miserable aware that down south the weather was beautiful. The forecast for Scotland this next week is terrible, apart from one day of sunshine. Therefore we felt it might be time to give up on Scotland and head back towards the Lake District.






Around two o' clock the rain eased and fully waterproofed we walked up into the nature reserve, carefully watching our footing so not to step on any of the snails and fat black slugs that were in heaven in the damp conditions.



The nature reserve is in an area that makes up part of Scotland's rain forest. Would they have a cafe in the rain forest? Apparently not! We know you don't come to Scotland for the weather but the stunning scenery, but today you could barely see the view. Back at Marge we resigned ourselves to spending the next seventeen hours inside. Oh joy!
