19th May. The route covers about 60 miles and climbs about 3000 feet, from Strontian to Polloch (very steep up and down) and then along forest and estate tracks on the shore of Loch Shiel to near Glenfinnan, then eastwards along the northern shore of Loch Eil to Banavie and Neptune's Staircase, to Gairlochy and then along the shore of Loch Lochy and Loch Oich to Invergarry and the sumptuous Invergarry Hotel.
