A revised walk by people who live in the West Highlands with a brief to avoid roads and travel through the best scenery, without the need to carry tents (unless you want to!)
Day1 Take Camus na Geal Ferry from Fort William across Loch Linnhe. Head west towards Cona Glen. Follow Cona Glen to an interesting pass that takes you to Glenfinnan.
Day2 Glenfinnan towards Corryhollie pass. Follow valley to Glen Dessary - the Sgur Finistaig Pass (The Witches Finger) Do not enter the main gorge cos its dangerous! a small and not very obvious path takes you down to the Sourlis Bothy at the head of Loch Nevis
Day3 Follow the coast - along the beach at low tide to cross a big river over a rickety bridge - dont ford this river unless you have too as people have died here. Climb a big pass under Meal a Buide (right) into the 'Kingdom of Knoydart' follow the good path to Inverie.
Day 4 Either have an easy day following the good path to Barrisdale Bothy or further to the Barn Accommodation at Kinlochourn or Traverse Lada Bheinn to Bealach Dhorcail to the Barrisdale Bothy
Day 5 Kinlochourn enter the Victorian Eucalyptus Forest working your way across open fell towards the Bealach at Stob Coir nan Forcan. Feeling fit the Forcan ridge becons and a steady descent towards Sheil Bridge or alternatively carry on over the Bealach into a remote valley running parallel to the road valley which brings you out at Sheil Bridge
Day6 Sheil Bridge Hotel towards Falls of Glomach - exposed descent path. Long valley another pass to Strathcarron
Day7 Either cross the Cuilin Pass to Torrien
