We took the only train that afternoon that stops at the Outward Bound train station. After a few wrong turns, we managed to find the path to the base camp. Veronica was thrilled to learn that they had WiFi; she promised to send us daily updates, but stay off of Facebook. One of the instructors took us on a tour. The facilities were impressive.
Since Veronica was the first to arrive in her room, she got to pick her bed. Ironically, the other two girls were both Dutch; the three of them got along great. I was lucky because I was able to catch a ride into Fort William, where I was spending the night since there were no way to get to the airport. The next morning, I took a bus to the airport; the route was different than the train and was also lovely as it crossed the mountains.
