Description

Starting out with a train from Corrour station (as seen in Trainspotting)

Not many services or food on this route. Water was hard to come by also.

Top-notch scenery once I got to Loch Cluanie. Traffic a bit heavy for my taste on A87 though.

The ride over the hill to Glenelg is steep (up to 18%) and tough with luggage.
