Nice day today, bit breezy but not too bad - forecast for sunny conditions, but only saw the sun intermittently. Good day for walking though. Followed the Walk Highlands route, so not a lot to add to that - there is a recognisable track the whole way, although this seems to be just a track that has form with usage, rather than a made path. That is on the hill - the path is a 4WD/ ATV track up to the base of the hill. I went in by bike, the track in is cyleable. Basically 4 miles bike in, and then 3 miles up the hill. The ride took me about 45 min in, and 35 min back. The first 3 miles of the track in were OK, but it started to get a bit rough for the last mile, with a number of fords I had to push the bike through. I guess this depends on the water level - we had a bit of rain last night, so they might have been higher than normal.
It is a really nice hill, there is a bit of extra ascent after the first summit, but on a good day the views are so nice it is no problem. Views extend all over Lochaber.
