Took the 8.02 train from Roybridge, along with the bikes. Cycled Corrour to the end of Loch Ossian with the Loadge and lots of construction work for a new hydro scheme. Once past the diggers and up onto path less open hillside it felt lovely and remote. Bit cloudy at first but as we left first summit the cloud lifted and we had stunning views and hot sunshine for the rest of the day. We made the 3.24 train back with 10 minutes to spare. It was a bit rushed, but the later train wasn't til 9.30, and the restaurant at the station is closed on a Tuesday so we couldn't even have filled the extra time with a meal there :(
