Had a look around Forres after breakfast, then went for a bike ride on the Dava Trail. It's a disused railway line but the section we picked was an uphill slog for Sraddhabha and diverts off the straight and narrow and eventually became too bumpy with tree roots, so we gave up, and did a 7 mile there and back ride . We then went to have a look at Burghead, mainly to try and identify what the massive building we had been seeing on the eastern horizon was. Turns out it's a grain processing plan with huge silos operated by Diageo - major alcohol producer. We passed another massive plant on the way to Burghead. Burghead is very tidily laid out on a grid, with a well protected harbour occupied by quite a few fishing boats. No sign of leisure sailing. Three people with cameras and binoculars had spotted a minke whale and were tracking it until it got too wet to be comfortable
On the way back to Findhorn we walked around one of the marked trails in the Roseisle Forest, increasing rain as darkness fell.
