Terrain

Both Lairigs have generally good hill paths. There are several unbridged burn crossings which can be impassable in spate. The far end of the Lairig Gartain is boggy, and the return walk on the old Military Road in Glen Coe is extremely boggy and waterlogged.

Public Transport

Glasgow - Fort William and Skye buses on A82 but nearest stop is The Kingshouse.
