Itinerary description

|
Show original

Today the day has come out grey, icy and with the threat of rain, the route continues behind the hotel, after flattening for about 4 km with impressive views of the mountains that surround me, now it is my turn as the main course of the day, the so-called “ Devil's Ladder.
It gets along well and with a good rhythm, the esses of the path make it easier, from below I see how the backpacks of the mountaineers are walking the path, zig-zag, you can even see them when they stop at the col.
From the quiet, the views are magnificent, the pity is that it is a bit cloudy and you can't see everything.
Now it's all downhill, the clouds let me see a little more and I see how the road, like a snake, goes through the moor, the path turns into a track and the sun begins to rise.
This wide path joins a track that, at the height of a bridge, left a dam on the left side. From the track, the town of Kinlochleven can be seen.
Before arriving at Kinlochleven I pass through a leafy forest, in the town I have everything super, bar,..., as I have accommodation on the outskirts of the town I decide to buy food for today and tomorrow, I also have a beer and go to the camping MacDonald Hotel and Cabins, they did not have a hostel, but I took a cabin at a good price, they have a bar where you can eat, the place is very good although the toilets need a review, also the sun was out all afternoon.
Signage: very good throughout the route, it is usually a wooden post with its symbol and a yellow arrow indicating the direction, GPS would not be necessary.
Accommodation in Kinlochleven, camping McDonald Hotel and Cabins, the cabins very well but regular services. It has a bar to eat and have breakfast, nearby there is a town with everything.
