An
early departure today, the 0630 to Edinburgh, and then on to Glasgow
Queen Street. Time
for some shopping, mainly gas and oatmeal. Still time for an "80" in
the famous Horseshoe pub, to catch the 1240 to Fort William. The line
towards
Mallaig is out of use for maintenance, so it's the bus to Glenfinnan,
where at 1700 the actual departure of the walk can take place. A light
drizzle alternating with sunshine: the ideal weather to get some nice
rainbows over Glenfinnan Viaduct! About one hour walk up the glen,
until Corryhully bothy is reached. A bothy with the luxury of electric
lighting!
Very cold inside though, despite lighting a fire with the wet wood
available. No cold once sleeping in the bag though, and a good start
of it all. |
