West Highland Way.....Bridge of Orchy - Tyndrum

Walk: West Highland Way

Section: Bridge of Orchy - Tyndrum

Another very poor weather day so a low level option again chosen. A short train journey to Bridge of Orchy and then walked the Way back to Tyndrum. The rain hosed it down from start to finish. Alongside saturated ground and low clouds it would not have been a lot of fun tramping across peaty/haggy moorland.

It is always a bit more exciting to start a ramble with a train or ferry

Private house was shuttered up

Fresh coo pats so on alert with Beinn Odhar ahead

Not quite Harry Potter viaduct but still quite nice

Puddles all the way

Caused by lots of these

A tunnel to where?

Some rough track for a bit

Tyndrum hills in sight

A straightforward section with plenty of hopping off and on the flooded track. A good day for waterfall spotting if nothing else. Still in a perverse way I enjoyed it.
