Kinlochleven to Glen Nevis

Last day of my WHHW run, travel out of Kinlochleven on the WHW, the path climbs up through birch woods to join the track though Lairig Mor for a few minutes, cross a bridge then take a faint path beside the stream, the path soon firms up and winds up towards the ridge between Am Bodach and Sgurr an lubhair.

Onto the ridge just as the cloud is rolling in to cover Sgurr a'Mhaim. Turn along the ridge over ex munro Sgurr an lubhair and down past the lochain on the way towards Stob Ban.

Stob Bans summit in the mist, a short ruin along and scramble up to the top. Cloud blowing in and out on the way to the last top of Mullach nan Coirean give some good views.

Run down the north east ridge and down to the lower falls car park for the last couple of miles on the road finishing in about 5 1/2 hours at Glen Nevis campsite. More pictures here.

Glencoe to Kinlochleven

Slept for 12 hours after yesterdays excitement. Forecast better later and took my time leaving as I hoped to do part of the "real" Aonach Eagach ridge today. Followed the WHW to the top of the Devils Staircase then left along the ridge, the plan was 4th top then back along the ridge to a drop off towards Kinlochleven. Easy run along the WHW past the new Kingshouse Hotel construction and Buchaille Etive Mor looking good across the road.

Up the Devils Staircase and along the broad grassy ridge to the first couple of tops, good views all round.

Looking down into Coire Gabhail, the lost valley.

The next tops capped with dark clouds and after yesterdays detour decided to drop off via Sron a Choire Odhair bhig and rejoin the WHW for the last mile or so. Short day today, finished in about 3 1/2 hours. More pictures here.
