The lonely road to Tarbet

That is Tarbet on Loch Nevis. We are actually almost half way down Loch Morar heading east towards the remote hamlet of Swordland * (we never got that far), this was our turnaround point. The path eventually heads north to Tarbet just past Swordland. Had we walked as far as Tarbet, our only means back to Mallaig was via the Loch Nevis, Western Isles Ferry that we had earlier taken a trip to Inverie on. PiP

* During World War II, Swordland Lodge was requisitioned for training, and used by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as a Special Training School, designated STS23b, where personnel—including Norwegian soldiers—trained for operations along the Norwegian coast

Enjoy the day.

Impresive panorama. There is a deeply honest beauty in the grey days and the stillness of the Highlands.

Herb Riddle replied to Günter Klaus:

Yes this was our second walk along the banks of this loch on this holiday. We travelled further up the loch in the car this time though before starting our walk which was certainly a boot walk. Glad you liked it. Yes, it is nice to record these times of our lives.

Warm regards. Herbert

Such a wild landscape, but still very beautiful. You've captured it in lovely light, especially over the distant peaks and the water.

It looks like hard walking there Herb and a bit desolate, which is probably why the area was used for Special Operations training in WW2.

Splendid work sir!
