Corrour railway station ✅

So, so pleased with myself! That I’ve just ✅ off Corrour railway station! Which is the highest railway station in the UK, it’s also not accessible by any public roads!! Which gives you, an idea of just how remote it really is!

If you can, at some point in your life, I would recommend you travel up to Corrour railway station! It’s by far the best railway station, that I’ve ever been too!

Most steps in a day now stands at 40,196

That’s me just set a new personal record on the Garmin Connect website. My most steps in a day, now stands 40,196. That’s what you get when you walk the Crinan Canal in both directions, a distance of around 20 miles!

 

Crinan Canal, Britain’s most beautiful shortcut! ✅

WOW! Can’t believe that Neil, my older brother Douglas and myself, walked the whole of the Crinan Canal in both directions, a distance of around 20 miles! So maybe the longest single day walk, that any of us done!

It really does live up to it’s name, of Britain’s most beautiful shortcut!

Stopped off at Carnasserie Castle

During our drive, up to the to Crinan Canal, we stopped off at Carnasserie Castle, which is a Historic Scotland site, I had never been to before! If ever in the Lochgilphead, I would check it out, if I was you! Even better, it’s 100% free, so no need to join Historic Scotland. But, of course, I would recommend that you do!
