West Highland Way, Day 6 - Inveroran Hotel to Kinlochleven - 16 miles

 

These came nosing around the bank of the hotel yesterday afternoon

Rannoch Moor

A bit of rain today, but probably didn’t need all the waterproof clothing

Stob Dearg, Glen Coe.  Snapped this just before a van drove past on the A82.  After talking it I saw the van was West Highland Way baggage transfer, probably carrying my bags.  What are the chances of that? Shame I missed it.


Starting the climb, out of Glen Coe, up the Devil’s Staircase

West Highland Way - Day 0, Train from Sheffield to Milngavie

Train travel is such a novelty that I thought to share a few photos of the days journey to Milngavie 

Once we left Newcastle I’m sure the train announcers began putting on Scottish accents
