West Highland Way - Day 8 - Kinlochleven to Fort William

After 3 easier days the last day was a long one of 16 miles. We were blessed with some great weather throughout which lifted the spirits and improved the views.

A hard haul up from Kinlochleven to about 300 m before a long stretch through the Lairig Mor along an old military road. This was easy going but long.

We then got into sight of Ben Nevis which was looking magnificent in the sun. The later stages seemed to offer lots of twists and turns and ups and downs and a final long stretch along the road before we finished.

The coffee shop at the edge of town closed at 5 pm just as we arrived at the old finish of the walk.

We headed on to the MacLean Guest House and then headed out for dinner at the Stables Restaurant.

Afterwards we visiting the new finish to the walk at the end of the main street in Fort William.
