Yesterday I was really exhausted and today I think I was also tired. I spent 200 minutes on mountain hiking yesterday. I thought mountain hiking was really hard for me and therefore I thought walk to Loch an Eileen will be an easy job. But I found I was totally wrong because I spent 5 hours walking to the loch and came back to youth hostel.
By the way, I have to say the signs for traveler should be a nightmare because there are not too many signs show ways to Loch an Eileen. It caused me got lost three times. Although, I have asked the locals but I still couldn’t find the way to the loch. I decided to trust my senses of direction and walked into a blocked gate. I saw there were several new bike traces on the road so I believe this one should be the way to the Loch Mor. If I could find the way to Loch Mor and I am sure I could find the way to my destination.
It took me 30 minutes to find the Loch Mor and I was really impressed because it was a small loch but really lovely. The water was so clear that I really want to jump into the loch but I can’t. God. The water was really cold. After finding the Loch Mor, I kept follow the path to the Eileen. Another 30 minutes to get there and the loch was much bigger. There was a ticket booth near the Loch an Eileen but it only charge car drivers. If you visit there on foot, they won’t charge anything.
Walking along the Loch an Eileen was fantastic. It was really windy today and the wind skimmed the water surface and caused beautiful waves on it. There was an old ruined small castle on a very tiny island. You could only see brick walls; several trees and unknown grass cover the tiny island. Walking along the Loch will take one and half an hour and I had to keep my camera in hands because there are a lot of animals near the loch. Plus, binocular is a good method to enjoy the nature.
Thanks God, the weather was really brilliant. Really sunny. No wonder the people I met on the way always said, “The weather is really great, isn’t it?”
Besides, I found the wind today was kind of strong. Because of wind, I did not get sweat anymore. Brilliant!
