A day out.

The railway journey between Mallaig and Fort William is regularly voted as one of the best journeys in the world. The forecast was for rain all day so we caught the 10:10 to Fort William.
We past through Arisaig Station, Britain's most westerly station and also the setting for the film 'Local Hero'
As we crossed the Glenfinnan Viaduct, I sent a picture to John D, just so he knew what he was missing. He responded, by sending a photo of his summerhouse footings.
We wandered around Fort William, having a fishy lunch in a waterside restaurant overlooking the loch. If it wasn't for the rain we would have had a stunning view of Ben Nevis, which we occasionally glimpsed.
We went into the local museum, mainly to shelter from the persistent light rain. We were rewarded with some diverse collections of artifacts relating to the Commandos, the Jacobean uprising, the wildlife, including a magnificent stuffed Golden Eagle.
The 16:19 sped us back to Mallaig.
Unfortunately, on walking back to the boat, I slipped on the wet aluminium joining the pontoons and went down rather heavily, twisting my ankle painfully.
I write this blog with a packet of frozen peas balanced on my swollen ankle.
