WHW, Mamore Lodge and Grey Mare's Tail

[allansmitchell]

Anyone whos done the WHW will be familar with the path out of Kinlochleven to fort william, a steep climb but great views at the top. We then headed towards Momore Lodge Hotel, relising that we had no money to pop in for a drink, after the "I thought you had some money on you" conversation we passed the Hotel turning left up towards the game keepers house, here you follow a small detour path round the back of the house (rather than walk through between the buildings) after a couple of hundred metres their is a path that goes right (Towards a cut out metal deer). The path then is mainly down hill from here leading you to a bridge at the bottom, to see the waterfall dont cross the bridge yet, follow it down to see Grey Mare's Tail, retrace your steps and cross the bridge to be taken back to the car park.
An enjoyable but wet afternoon

Pity help the poor deer in that part of Scotland, they're going to get their legs shot out from under them.
Enjoyed the pics & report.
