A 12 hour journey home

But not just any journey as the first part is on one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World.  I board the Scotrail train at the request stop of Lochailort and 15 minutes later we are approaching the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Obligingly the driver slows to a crawl so cameras can be aimed.  This is the view down Glen Shiel towards Strontian where I stayed a few days before.

Then it is on to Fort William, passing Ben Nevis and travelling South towards Philippa who is due back in 5 days time.  There are numerous snow capped mountains.  This is Loch Treig and yes I climbed the hill in the picture a few years ago.

 South past the magical station of Corrour which can only be reached on foot or by train.  There is no road.  This is where we disembarked for Mick's final Munro.

Opposite is a Corbett (pictured below) I have not climbed and is a target as it will involve a night staying in the wilds of Corrour, in the station B and B in the picture above.  

However 5 hours is a long first part of th journey, despite the magnigificent views of mountains, lochs, forest and deer seemingly unperturbed by the passing train.  The train crew are excellent.  Well done Scotrail!  

Reaching Glasgow, I change stations from Queen Street to Central (below) and Virgin First Class back to Euston.  The last 12 days have been fantastic!
