Awake early as we past past Haymarket Depot (Glasgow?) then back to sleep until about 6:30 to watch scenery going past. Lots of waterfalls, mountains and moors.
Breakfast arrived at 8:45 which was welcome. Arrived at Ft William exactly on time, 9:45. The weather was grey and occasionaly drizzly. Wandered around Fort William and decided it would be better to spend the day here than at Mallaig in terms of shelter and places to see. Wander up above the main town to get views of the loch then around most of the shops before lunch at Ossain resturant for fish & chips.
Met up with Sarah, Richard, Arthur, Anna, Tony on the train at Fort William at 16:09 then headed on to Mallaig. Weather turned sunny so views of lochs, Glenfinnan and beaches were spectacular.
At Mallaig met up with Jamie, Robert and Vicky to drop kit onto boat then bought some beer before heading to Doune. Sea slightly choppy for the 15 minute trip. Landed via dinghy as tide quite low. A quick tour of the lodge then dinner at 8
- Beetroot & Tomato soup
- Salmon with scallop sauce
- Red Currant sponge
- Coffee
Sunset not especially colourful. Weather due to be wet and breezy tomorrow morning so keeping close to the mainland/Skye.
