Besides the picturesque glens, the Isle of Man has many forests or 'plantations'. Today I took a walk around Chibbanagh Plantation.
Rain had been drizzling all morning and a mist was sitting at the top of the hill. The woods where spookily dark with only a few cracks of light coming through its canopy.
There is a main track that runs through the forest and many trodden paths to explore. I took a circular 2.5 mile track up, and around and back down the hill.
The views from all levels of the hill where fantastic and I didn't have any issue with the height or gradients. Ted enjoyed the walk too! 👍😁

Yesterday I visited Peel Castle. The castle stands on St Patrick's Isle, which is connected to the town by a causeway. Built by the Norwegian Vikings in the 11th century and provides panoramic views over Peel and out to the Irish sea.
Within the red sandstone walls are many ruins, including a round tower, church and Cathedral with crypt.
An audio guide is provided and gives a wealth of information of the history of the castles structures.
A great day out, highly recommended. 👍🏰

We spent Christmas camped up in Savernake forest. Plenty of dog walking trails and massive oak trees. The shapes and colours of the forest during winter are amazing.

After visiting the Glenfinnan Viaduct I turned off the A830 towards Mallaig onto the A861 at Lochailort, stopping the night at the Garbh Eilen Wildlife Hide. The drive was mainly single track with passing places and a lot more remote feeling that what my journey had become.
I was planning on following the road around the coastline as it joins up again wittakesh the A830, however I decided to make use of the ferry crossing at Ardgour.
The ferry crossing is run by The Highland council to make the area more accessible and saves what would be over an hour journey to Corran on the opposite side of Loch Linnhe.
The crossing takes 5 minutes and at regular intervals.

Glenfinnan Viaduct aka "The Harry Potter Bridge."
I was lucky enough to get the van parked, had the last space next to a LWB Crafter. Any other time I would not have attempted parking in that spot, it was tight work!
The viaduct is a great piece of engineering and a busy tourist attraction. If you time it right, you can see the Jacobite steam train cho choo chooing across 👍

A brief stop at Fort Augustus, a busy hamlet at the southern tip of Loch Ness and part of the impressive 60 mile long Caledonian Canal, halfway between Inverness and Fort William.
The A82 crosses the canal over the swing bridge, which seems to be in regular use, alongside the diesel powered lock gates.
