Day 4 was another success - just

Apart from some early showers that ruined our first stop off on the train journey, the weather held quite well. These past two days have certainly not lived up to the scale of rain predicted, but then we did leave Fort William on both days.

Today wasn't as exciting as yesterday's speed boat but the train journey provided plenty of focus. It was a shame we had to share our train ride with a grumpy looking man (but quite friendly wife) who sat opposite, but since we spent most of the journey chasing free windows this wasn't much of an issue.

This was our last full day in Scotland but after getting back at 4pm to Fort William we didn't have much interest in any other activity so strolled slowly back to the B&B to enjoy this view from our beds and watch Ennis and Bolt win gold. We'll miss this place if not the rain.

So, roll on tomorrow and a four-hour train ride through the Highlands to Glasgow, then on to Carlisle, before terminating in Ravenglass for two days in the fells of Eskdale in the western Lakeland. I just hope we make all the connections with our baggage and that the rain holds off for two days planned for walking.
