DAY 3 — TGOC 2023 – Kinlochleven to Loch Ossian via Corrour Station

Not quite true — only till Corrour Station — add another 2.5km for Loch Ossian Youth Hostel

What a weird day! My feet hurt so bad this morning (and during the night) and I was not sure that I would be able to go.

Then it rained very hard during the night … which means I had to pack wet items! Oh well …

Weather was not good at all … don’t get deceived by the pictures … you obviously make pictures when it is nice!

Starting off it haled … then sunny … then heavy rain … then decent … then heavy rain. You get the point. I actually put rain gear on and off at least 6 times! The mountains had new snow ❄️!

Black Water Reservoir

While it was not too long today it was very exhausting … the paths that were visible were flooded and muddy … aweful walking!

Glencoe Mountains

But everything has an (positive) end! And I saw the train again … considering it only comes 3 times per day I am pretty lucky 🍀

Train from Corrour Station towards Fort Williams

I was planning for that destination for over a year … CORROUR STATION! A wonderful restaurant in the middle of nowhere … just reachable by train or foot! Excellent food and drinks … I was do happy.

Soup and Cider …
Home baked …

The place was full despite it being a Monday! Will need to come back …

I am staying at the YOUT HOSTEL LOCH OSSIAN. That is another 30 minute walk from here … will report about that later … also something that I planned for a while.

My feet are not doing that well … but after a night follows another hiking day .
