Breakfast at 8 in the lounge car, much like a aircraft meal but with better scenery! The train arrived on time at Fort William which left just over two hours to spend in town before the 12:12 train to Mallaig. Wandered along the high street and bought a few bits in Mountain Warehouse. Two pairs of Merino socks on two for one offer and a head torch, bargain! Then had a coffee and flapjack in Ossains, where I had lunch in 2010.
It was noticeable how many shops had gone out of business since my last visit.
Back to the station and retrieved luggage from the left luggage lockers. Once the train came in found Abby and Tina and in bright sunshine we made the trip to Mallaig; along the world's most scenic railway route.
Once in town had lunch (Haddock in Oats and Breadcrumb, with chips and peas) in the Steam Inn.
After lunch we bumped into our skipper and slowly the group congregated by the Mary Doune.
At about 5 PM we headed on the 15 minute trip from Maillaig to Doune.
Dinner
Beetroot & tomato soup
Poached salmon
Chocolate Orange pudding
