Gairlochy Part II




Destination in the distance. The start of a fabulous walk to Coire Ardair, and a small loch at the bottom of Craig Meagaidh.


Halfway there and they seem so small against the mountain!



Goal achieved! A sit down and lunch before the return 4 mile journey. 


 A trip on The Jacobite Railway from Fort William to Mallaig gives an
outstanding view round every corner.
(Note the viaduct that featured in 'Harry Potter')


A view from the carriage window on the return journey. The light was stunning.
The smoke and soot smelled good too!


Another day and wild and desolate walk behind Loch Arkaig - an area used for commando training during WW2

 

What's this I see?


The Landlady of Teapot Cottage had to make special arrangements after Florence's visit!

 
And finally....

Should anybody wish to contact us at cottage 4 (at Nostie near Kyle of Lochalsh) between 15-28th June the landline number is 01599 555457 - the mobile signal at the cottage is poor but we have Wi-Fi so email is also possible.

Views from the cottage are spectacular - all will be revealed in the fullness of time!

  3. They look so small because they are so small!!!! Thank goodness they have you Flo as the big person (though the last picture negates those thanks!!!!!) Truly 'awesome' pics, to coin that poor American phrase. Absolutely loving the blog and absolutely green with envy.. I have to ration Kim's exposure to your adventures until the end of term, as may push her over the edge!!! Keep on doing what you're doing. J&K xxx

  4. ---blimey that's almost as big as pile Flo left at Blarney Castle after a particularly hair raising attempt to kiss the Stone , back in the day !!
    The picture above looks less like Commando training and moore suspiciously like a Squirrel going Commando - more gussets on their way girls !
