From the dramatic cliffs of Devil’s Punchbowl to the quiet beauty of Buttermilk Falls — Day 7 (Part 2) is one for the books!
Rob and I had some laughs, a few slips, and took in some incredible views. These falls may not have been rushing, but they were still stunning.

From rocky climbs to unexpected falls 😅 — this part of the Bruce Trail had it all!

Haven't posted in a long while.

It's been raining off and on over the past few days. Our backyard yard hasn't been tended to but it's funny how sometimes the choices you make provide for those little smiles in life.

Had we weeded the backyard or at least cut down the forest of crab grass etc, wouldn't have been able to get these shots.

Home grown backyard beauty you might say.

Day 3 highlights from our hike from Glenfinnan to Inverie and The "UK's Most Remote Pub"!

Paul and I woke up on the floor of the Sourlies Bothy on the coast of Loch Nevis. Although we were on the right body of water, Inverie was still 16 KMs and 775m of elevation gain away.

A short walk from the bothy was a massive rock that putted out into the water and we couldn't go around so up and over we went. Oh, and the first path we took was a dead end. So down and back up we went. On the other side of the rock was more shore and nearly a kilometer of bog. Bog started great with firm grass but that quickly changed to water soaked grass and mud. We filled our bottles at the site of a beautiful old ruin. After the ruin was a 600m climb with switchback after switchback. I had a hell of a time with the climb. I managed a few meters then had to stop. But then we finally hit the saddle and it was mostly downhill from there. Suddenly I had a wind in my sails and even left Paul in the dust. It was still a very wet descent but I had stopped caring and simply walked in the water filled ruts of the path.

Paul and I walked into Inverie and who was waiting for us at a picnic table outside The Old Forge? Our Dutch couple friends from the bothy. We sat down to our first cold pint. Other patrons at the next table were a pair of fishermen from Mallaig and were impressed by our 3 day endeavor to get to the pub (pint #2).

Our Dutch friends left on the next ferry and we were joined by 2 gents we met briefly at the bothy the night before. Roddy went into the pub, brought our a dram of Scotch for the 4 of us and played a few tunes on the fiddle for all to enjoy.

We dined and drank and finally hiked back up the road to the Foundation Bunkhouse where we met a lovely young Scottish couple (more on them in the next post) . It was a fantastic end to a tough day.

Catching up on my posts from my trip to Scotland.

After arriving in Glenfinnan we spent the night at a very cute rail sleeper car-turned hostel. The next morning we got our packs and hit the trail. We took the road down to the and hiked under it, following a paved path deeper into the valley. We ended up following the valley and hiked up to its saddle.

Day one on our hike to Inverie and the "UK's most remote pub" ( ) ended up being the most difficult of our 3-day journey. 21 KMs and 800m of elevation gain (according to AllTrails recording)

I lost half my leg in a bog - Paul had to help me strip off my pack and help pull me out of the mud, both trekking poles bent on separate falls (there were many) and one even broke (good thing I had duct tape on the poles).

We finally rolled into the A'Chuile bothy muddy, wet and tired but we met a really nice Dutch couple who we would meet up with again through our hike. Try as I might, I couldn't get a fire to stay lit in the fireplace but we managed to dry out and get a good night's sleep.

Pictures are from Glenfinnan. You'll recognize the viaduct from the Harry Potter films. Also pictured is the Jacobite Monument and the Glenfinnan House and Hotel where we had lunch - truly beautiful inside. Views from the viaduct trail were also spectacular with Loch Shiel in the background.

The next day, we start our 50 KM hike to the most remote pub in the UK.

First visit to Scotland starting in Glasgow. Tonight we spend the night here but tomorrow we're off to Glenfinnan by train. The next day, we start a 3-day hike to Inverie / Knoydart to get to the "most remote pub in the UK".

Anxious to hike in the Highlands

Stay tuned...more to come.

Just a few teaser pics from our journey along Pukaskwa's Coastal Trail. It's been challenging and had non-stop rain on trail night 1. Had rain again last night but not nearly as much.

Beautiful scenery
