Last day on the WHL with @turboted.co.uk today
Started out with a couple of required stations near Fort William, then went to go and see a decent looking viaduct 😉
Got a new favourite station now, and that is Rannoch!
Had 2.5 hours there in heavy rain, which went quickly thanks to being able to make a coffee and get a snack for a donation in the waiting room :)
When I did go out in the rain, it's quite nice too. Need to return here💯
Early start this morning, but worth it for some special scenery and to tick the most remote station in the UK!
Incredible up here😍
