Description
A very enjoyable high-level walk with, in good weather, extensive views to north, east and south. At one point you can see almost the full twenty miles of Loch Ness. The paths are of two kinds, older, wider forest tracks linked by new and narrower paths, the latter not yet (2003) bedded in and quite rough. The route undulates and zigzags quite a bit, adding to the mileage. In this direction there are no demanding climbs (walking the other way there are...), but the walk requires a degree of fitness. Boots are necessary for comfort on the rough paths.
Access Info
Turn off the A82 at Lewiston (513291) and follow the narrow country road to the new car park at the end of it (491238). At Alltsigh obtain permission to park in the hostel car park.
The bus service Inverness - Fort Augustus stops at Alltsigh. There is no bus to Bunloit; but you can add four miles to the walk by walking up to Bunloit from the bus stop in Drumnadrochit, following the Great Glen Way marker-posts.
