Ascent
 

On the way we will cross railway viaducts and pass Loch Skerrow where the steam trains would reload with water after a long climb. The station there was subsequently blown up by the army on a training exercise. The uneven path meanders through woodland with a variety of wild spring flowers and eventually emerges at the spectacular Big Water of Fleet viaduct which we cross, pausing to admire the sites many feet below. It’s now a short distance to the finish at the Dromore Visitor centre with an interesting exhibition and toilets (but no refreshments).
