gentlemen sorry about you which is the Kyle train that one just over there

grand okay thank you very much cheers thank you this is Inverness railway station

effectively this is the portal the starting point for an adventure we're taking on this edition of Outer Doors.

Yeah, we're going to Kyle. How exciting is that? 80-od miles away. One of the iconic rail journeys in Scotland, I've never done it.

No, neither have I. And it's hugely up there on the tick list. And we're just going to have such an adventure on the way.

So I should be cracking.

Man with the whistles getting excited.

We better get on the train.

well we'll gather together

wherever the weather

and drive to the dancing in Kyle
