Corrour Station run

Last weekend we ran from Corrour Station to Fort William; not a huge distance(about twenty miles ) but it was extremely swampy underfoot with numerous stream crossings .It rained virtually all day expect for a brief period of sunshine when we were close to the Meanach bothy.The Autumn colours were marvellous, the grasses in the hills a brilliant orange yellow. The stags were roaring their melancholy calls adding to the wild atmostphere of the area.Despite the weather we had a great day out . The only sketch I did was fom the warmth of a coffee shop in Fort William.

 Today I did a sketch of Loch Linnhe from the west end car park in  Fort William. Walking back alongside the loch my attention was caught by a stream of bubbles in the water  about fifty feet away . The source of the bubbles was an otter which then emerged from the water with a fish in its mouth.It seemed unconcerned by the traffic roaring along the bypass.
