but crossing Rannoch Moor on the train is beautiful and barren
You’re lucky you’ve never crossed it when my friends and I make our yearly climbing/hiking trip. 😆
I don’t know how it started, but we always go for a little dip in one of the bog pools near Ba Bridge. It certainly makes the walk/jog back to the King’s House pass a bit quicker!!!
There was a group of old buggers from Louisiana watching us do it 2 years ago. they thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen (you need to understand how desolate Rannoch Moor is to be able to appreciate how odd it would be to see a load of grown men sitting in a bog like it is a jacuzzi!). They wouldn’t let us buy a drink in the King’s House all night. One of the lads was 79, and he told us if we went back the next day to let him know because he would join us!!!!
I hope i’m like that if I ever make it to his age 🙂
