Didcot to the far north. Snow!

Posted on by insightndes in Travel
The journey starts in Didcot.
On to Paddington.

Then a cycle to the Great Nepalese Restaurant near Euston station.

Vegetable momos
The Nepalese set menu for one.
Great food at the Great Nepalese.
Complimentary food is available in the Sleeper Lounge.
About to board the sleeper.
Breakfast in the Highlands
It’s snowy- the River Findhotn.
Approaching Inverness
Arrived at Inverness
Snow had crept into the train.
Inverness station has a dusting of snow.

Unfortunately the Far North train does not connect well with the Sleeper. I have a two hour wait in Inverness. Not much open at this time so in a moment of inspiration it’s off for a breakfast at Premier Inn. Must get sponsorship.

River Ness
Second breakfast.

The Premier Inn is slightly disorganised. The card reader is not working so I get a free breakfast. Due to a low number of staff it takes an age for it to be served. Can’t complain because I am not paying for it.

Snowy Far North train at Inverness.
Heading away from Inverness
Slight speckling of snow near Conon Bridge.
Near Edderton
Near Invershin

There’s proper snowy scenery

Then back to the coast.

Near Brora

Then up the Helmsdale Strath.

River Helmsdale
Very white near Kinbrace.
Between Halkirk and Thurso.

It’s snowing in Thurso
