This was our favourite walk of our four days stay at Fort William. We started from the track that leads to Be-Ach, parking just before the entrance. We took the track to just before the farm before turning right over a bridge then making our way up the open hillside to the ridge and then following it to the summit. The views from the summit were superb. We returned the same way. 4 hrs.
