Just back from a holiday in Fort William, myself. Lots of big hills and jellyfish.

it started raining as soon as i went out to try and find a place for dinner so i went to a takeaway pita shop and got a pork/chicken gyro and it was just ok

if it wasn't so hot out i would have taken the longer walk through the forest and meadows but alas
---

those views are great

do you know which canals you walked past with those narrow boats? ive been narrow boating before around chester
---

it was the Kennet and Avon Canal i think

it was pretty cool, i wasn't expecting to come across these canals on the trail i was on

the trails were a little muddy and I was so afraid of slipping and falling in
---

Yeah, Somerset has some great views around and wonderful places you could go to, if you've got the time.

Alfreds Tower, Stonehenge (technically in Wiltshire, but not really that far from Bath tbh), Wells is a nice place, Cheddar Gorge, Heaven's Gate and Longleat and just plenty of nature trails to wander on.
---

yeah we drive into wiltshire county to go to Chippenham every day and the views of the rolling hills are so nice

i wish i had more time to go sightseeing but i only really have the weekend and i get tired easily
---

also its so hard to eat healthy when the you're eating on the company's dime

ive gained 5 lbs since i got here on the 15th
---

i had a salad for lunch and i was going good today until my boss gave everyone dessert menus after dinner
---
