The West Highland Railway was closed between Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy for quite a while round about the end of February/beginning of March this year due to a couple of avalanches on Ben Odhair that covered the line and the West Highland Way. On the way back from Nephew Conrad’s christening in Glasgow, I took some pics from the bus.

You can see all the pics here.

Last weekend was my sister’s wedding and I had to give her away and with Dawn’s mum up visiting, I thought it would be a great idea to walk part of the West Highland Way on the journey down to Glasgow. I had to be there during the week for the rehearsal and Dawn and her maw would follow on the Friday, when we’d meet up. So the plan was, I’d get the bus to White Corries and make my way down to Tyndrum, get the train down to Glasgow, go to the rehearsal, meet the new rellies-to-be, eat all their food then head for what used to be the Viccy Bar in Stockwell Street, to meet up with me old pals from the Orion MC. I was also hoping to meet up with old friends at Bridge of Orchy, as I lived there for a year way back in 1989 and I knew they were still around, having met Kate and Kenny when I was leading for the HF there last year.
