VH-KDK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This flight follows the Great Glen Fault and beyond. We shall start at Inverness and fly down Loch Ness past Fort William today and tomorrow conclude the flight in my usual way! Loch Ness has the second largest surface area after Loch Lomond but due to its great depth(deepest at 230m)it is the biggest by volume. It also contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. 1. Off from Inverness Airport beside the Moray Firth. 2. Over Inverness. The Beauly Firth is top centre with the Kessock Bridge clearly visible. We will follow the Caledonian Canal and the Ness River. 3. The first view of Lock Ness at Lochend. Loch Dochfour is under the Cessna. 4. Invermoriston and the Moriston River. 5. The western end of Loch Ness at Fort Augustas. The Caledonian Canal and the River Oich can be seen. Spot the Lighthouse. 6. The start of Loch Oich at Aberchalder. 7. Inbetween Loch Oich and Loch Lochy is Laggan and of course The Caledonian Canal. 8. Loch Archaig is to the right. Beinn Bhan is above the Cessna. 9. Passing Gairlochy and Moy, Strone is at the bend of the Caledonian Canal which was constructed in the early 1800s with the chief engineer being Thomas Telford. Ben Nevis can now be seen. 10. Plenty in this cap. Ben Nevis, Fort William(Go the Fort),the Rivers Nevis and Lochy, the mouth of the Caledonian Canal, and (sea)Loch Linnhe. At 1344m Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. Hope you liked viewing and to be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
