Day 6 - Kinlochleven to Fort William (16 miles)
Wow! My cabin really was like a sauna last night. I didn't need to sleep in the sleeping bag at all last night, I just slept in the sleeping bag liner and I was plenty warm enough. At least all my clothes are dry again for today. The alarm was set for 07:00 so that I had enough time to have a cup of tea, pack my bag and be ready to grab my bacon and egg roll at 08:00 as soon as the kitchen opens. I was out of the door with a hot roll in my hands by 08:15 ...
Day 5 - Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9.25 miles)
... lunch today as it's only a short day and should be in town for 13:00 ish and I'll grab something to eat there. Every corner I take is a another view of different snow topped mountains, causing me to stop all the time and take photos.

Day 3 - Inverarnan to Tyndrum (12.4 miles)
... day, l was all checked in by 14:30. I showered, bought an Irn-Bru from the hostel reception and was made a cup of tea by a lady who was playing her penny whistle at the hostel while she was waiting for her husband and daughter to come back from a walk in the mountains. I was very pleased to put my feet up for a while and have a nice warm drink. Richard turned up after about an hour, he did the usual routine too. Shower and a quick change of clean (evening) ...
Day 2 - Balmaha to Inverarnan (22.4 miles)
... least then I was restricted so much by the time of sunset. If you are reading this, don't do what I did, split this walk over three days and not 2. I would not wish this on anyone. It's getting late now and following the shoreline every now and then I come across a sheltering mountain goat and it scares the life out of me as I approach they get startled and dart out in front of you. One bonus of walking at dusk, I come across a badger walking the WHW and as ...
