Curly45 Jun 2022 8:24pm, 21 Jun 2022 4,300 posts	0 Curly45 We walked from Rannoch station to Fort William, much of which is on the West Highland Way (all apart from Day 1 basically). Its a bit too busy for me, a bit too easy in terms of hills and the ground is full of huge stones. Not in a rush to go back. Well signed and lovely people in the accommodation. We used this site to base our route off. carfreewalks.org
