West Highland Way, Day 6 - Inveroran Hotel to Kinlochleven - 16 miles

 

These came nosing around the bank of the hotel yesterday afternoon

Rannoch Moor

A bit of rain today, but probably didn’t need all the waterproof clothing

Stob Dearg, Glen Coe.  Snapped this just before a van drove past on the A82.  After talking it I saw the van was West Highland Way baggage transfer, probably carrying my bags.  What are the chances of that? Shame I missed it.


Starting the climb, out of Glen Coe, up the Devil’s Staircase 

View of Glen Coe from the top, the highest point reached on the WHW - 548 metres
