Adventuring from home always seems extra special without a car.
Yesterday morning I walked to the village and caught the train at 9.20 just one stop down the line to Falls of Cruachan. From there I walked up the Munro Ben Cruachan, then onto Taynuilt Peak and down to Bridge of Awe and back home.
Definitely an adventurous route coming down, but plenty of other options possible.
Take the train (or bus - they’re only £2 per journey this year) to Falls of Cruachan, follow the walkhighlands route to the dam and walk back down the dam road to St Conan’s Kirk, its cafe, and the train (or bus) back from Lochawe.
