Rannoch Moor

Had a logistical nightmare today. I decided that I wanted to walk from Kings House to Rannoch Moor Station. The only problem was how to get back! I eventually decided to park at Fort William and get the bus to Kings House, then I could get the train back. Ended up in a bit of a rush and forgot my camera :(

There were 2 other people who got off the bus at the same place, but they headed in a different direction, so I had the path to myself. The first section is the driveway up to Black Corries Lodge, and then it becomes a footpath. This was clear and surprisingly dry. The final section was a pleasant track through the woods.It was at this point that I started to see a few people, presumably doing a short walk from the station.

I'd walked quicker than I expected, so had a bit of time to kill in the station cafe waiting for the train. I got chatting to a couple in there, lost track of time, and had to dash out to catch my train! It's a long wait for the next one.

It's a few years since I've done the train journey from Rannoch Moor to Fort William, so I sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
