Re: Second easiest Munro on Skye

Banachdich via Coir nan Eich is the usual suggestion trotted out for this question. There's just one issue with that route... it's rubbish (there are many good ways to the summit but they are not really on this site). I would suggest Mhadaidh and Ghreadaidh as a much better day out which also leaves...

Re: ' That ' Mullardoch 4 return path

The Allt Taig can be tricky. As ever in Scotland, the weather in the preceding day or two will dictate it's difficulty. However, if crossing it on the way back, it is only about an hour from the dam so wet feet should not be too much of a hardship.

Re: HELP! Needs suggestion on walks around Fort William

A car gives you a lot more options, although I still think my original route is a decent choice ( :wink: ).

Here are another couple of suggestions...
