If you don't just want to marvel and enjoy from the beach, you can have a great view here, be careful of the traffic, here is only an old small field driveway green and rarely used,

Carn an t-Suidhe Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Carn an t-Suidhe climb from Fort Augustus is a stunning Highland ascent, averaging 6% with steeper sections peaking around 12%. The road climbs steadily out of the village, revealing sweeping views of Loch Ness and the surrounding glens as you gain height. The tarmac is generally smooth, but exposed sections can be windy, so pace yourself and stay seated on the steeper ramps. Cresting the top feels like entering another world—quiet, remote, and beautifully wild.

February 4, 2024,Foyers loop again on a cold wet miserable day

I left Inverness in the rain as not to bad, by the time I reached Dores I went into the bus shelter and thought --continue or go back OK onward maybe go home via Inverfaragaig once there Foyers is not far so decided to go the whole Hogg

February 18, 2024,A very slow drag out by Foyers

Hard going on the gravel bike with 40mm tyres and head wind for 20 miles

January 21, 2024,Just out training on E-bike but used in lowest mode and you have to work

A damp day (but ok) out as far as Foyers, Onto the top road, and home also I beat the storm.
