We hesitated yesterday. A day of rest, or a walk in rain? We decided to go for it. So glad we did. It did rain, but there were lighter moments too, and we had a great day - popping Sgurr Thuilm and Sgurr nan Coireachan in the Munro bag!
We cycled out the 5 km to the start of the walk - passing under the 'famous' viaduct - a 21 arch railway viaduct built between 1897 and 1901. The viaduct has been used as a location for several films, including Ring of Bright Water, Charlotte Gray, Monarch of the Glen, Stone of Destiny and of course some of the Harry Potter films.
A lovely meal in the evening at the hotel, with a few surprises thrown in. A lovely day. :-)
Back home today, then a bit of normality for a while.
That's a great view of the bridge. And you are an amazing pair, bagging so many Munros in such a relatively short time.
Loved the Knoydart photos....
thought of you as we stopped at the view points on the road over from Glenelg to Loch Duich. Enjoy your rest days 👍
This is a terrific photo to me. I like the gentle curve of the viaduct, the bit of mist or haze at the top of it in the right corner and the pink blooms across the center.
@ludwigsdiana There's a thing called Corbetts ... they are mountains over 800m in Scotland, that are not high enough to be called Munros. It's possible we move to do a round of them ... there are over 200. But first things first ... ;-)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond We were trying to work that out ... it's actually a net across the river - the 'lights' are small white floats. There was one on either side of the viaduct. Hubby thinks maybe for trapping smolt and measuring/counting them - there is an issue of depleting numbers of fish in Scotland's rivers. But that's a guess. We don't know.
Congrats on bagging another 2 Munros, at this rate you will soon have them all! What then? ;-)

what is the little curve of lights for?
