...but set off we did, up a long hill past Glenfinnan Station on the Fort William to Mallaig line, used in the Harry Potter series. And it rained, then rained some more.
Suddenly I had a flat rear tyre. We pulled in to change the inner tube, finding the culprit in the process - a long sharp piece of glass. Humph! At least the repair was straightforward - for a couple of old hands!
Passing the Polnish Church we spotted the 'Nae cars doon the track' sign, which was good for a giggle. Apart from the fact that it was at the start of another long hill!
Realising that our ferry tomorrow doesn't leave until 1240, I decided we didn't need to go all the way to Mallaig tonight. So we called a halt at Arisaig with about 8 miles to go, had a brew at a nice café, found a B&B and got out of our wet clothes.
Tomorrow we'll take the tourist route past Camusdarach beach, location for 'Local Hero' one of the finest films ever made. Whether I'll have time to wander along the beach, or later, after dark, admire the Aurora Borealis, is another matter.
We will be visiting Rhum, however. Island no 15. I'm told there is a rock concert tomorrow - we may end up being roadies for the second time in a week!
KPO, KPO...
