Day 1, Day3 and Day 4

Day one - travel day. An early start to take the train, and then the bus to Bristol airport. We flew from Bristol to Inverness and then picked up a hire car to take us to our lodge. Soon after arrival, and all through day two, it rained non stop for 36 hours so we rested indoors. On day three the morning started wet so we made a visit to the Speyside Cooperage. After lunch the rain stopped so we did a fairly short out and back forest walk near 'home'. On Day 4 the weather was better and it stayed dry until late afternoon. We spent the day on a Wildlife Safari touring the area with a local Birder.
