Day four starts off with an easy 7 mile section along a flat path which runs along beside the road north. The path passes by some beautiful mountains on the way towards Bridge of Orchy.

Bridge of Orchy train station just outside the town. The town is small with a PostOffice and a hotel.

On leaving Bridge of Orchy the path enters a forest and climbs up a hill. When you reach the other side of the hill a view of Loch Tulla opens before you.

The path heads down and around the left hand side of loch Tulla. The picture below is of the old drovers road to Glencoe which cuts through Rannoch moor. Rannoch moor is a hard section of the walk and is very exposed to the weather.

This picture shows just how exposed you are walking through this section. Up on the right you can see the start of Glencoe.

Camping behind the Kingshouse hotel as can be seen from the picture we arrived just in time to get drenched in a thunder storm.
