44 miles, 21,500 feet

| Sunset on Ben Cruachan |
I'd wanted to do this journey for a few years. Unusually I had company in the form of Bill Williamson for the Ben Cruachan section, but Bill soon bowed out since he was suffering from a cold. Its a great journey with no roads or habitation from start to finish. It takes in the Munros from Loch Awe through to Kingshouse with just one descent to the valley, and is a pure line that ends at the historic hostellery of the Kingshouse. In winter, its very committing and a serious expedition as I found out after losing my map in the middle of the night in the middle of a snowstorm, with over 20 miles to go. I would have completed the route within 24 hours if it had not been for this, but the adventure would have been lessened without it!
