Having woken up in Plockton, we catch the train to Strathcarron. Here's the station when it had two signal boxes.
A Grand Tour, warts and all. Starting at Gravesend, this is a trip around the United Kingdom, taking in its various places. We not only visit the tourist hotspots, but also the lesser visited towns and villages. Some are hidden gems, some are industrial and some are mundane. There's nowhere without interest, though! Transport and beer enthusiasts are very well catered for.

OVER THE SEA TO SKYE
From Inverie we head across the water to the Isle of Skye, arriving at Armadale just as the CaMac ferry Pioneer comes in.
North, along the eastern side of Skye, with views up Loch Hourn, on the mainland.
Now we yomp across Skye to Waternish, where we have a pint in the Stein Inn, the oldest on the island.
Next stop, the tiny village of Uig.
Uig is home to The Isle of Skye Brewing Company.
BUSES AND BEER IN CHESTER.
