While it’s the last day of long backpack trips from almost anywhere, the early train (7.40am) from Fort William lets you do this as a day walk. Route 4 allows you to walk the riverside for those last 10km, but you may prefer the road, where any passing car will be a climber or walker and might offer a lift, even to the muddy. (You can’t phone for a taxi on your mobile; mobiles won’t work.)

See overview map Ben Nevis & Glen Coe north. Start from Corrour station on the west side of the railway, where a rough and often soggy track runs beside the railway line. After 2km, the firm track from Loch Ossian emerges from under the railway. Or else, for clean feet and legs, head east from the station to the track around Loch Ossian.

Turn right on the track towards Corrour station, then right on a side track at a waymark arrow. In 200 metres the track bends left; at once, turn off left on a rugged old track. After 400 metres this joins a much newer one, running west to pass under the railway in the bed of a stream.
