Aonoch Eagach

Posted by chapmanbillie 16 May 2007

The Aonoch Eagach in Glen Coe is one of the world’s finest ridge walks. Do it before you die. If you’re fit, good with heights and aren’t put off by a stretch called the Crazy Pinnacles, you’ll be fine. There’s some climbing but you don’t need ropes.

We did it on a clear summer’s night and stood speechless on a peak, able to see up past Ben Nevis and right out to the Hebrides, mountains everywhere and us above them. A pint in the Clachaig Inn afterwards is compulsory.

Clachaig Inn

Posted by StuartO'Connor 16 May 2007

About a mile down the road from Glencoe is a small, very old pub called the Clachaig Inn - its Boots Bar has a huge range (at least 100 different) of single malt whiskies.

Macdonald Hotel

Hotel/pub with camping site behind. Small site for backpacking tents but also has trekking huts for rent. Clean loos and showers and awesome views down the loch at sunset.

The Clachaig Inn

Posted by pottig 30 April 2007

Fantastic place to eat, drink and recover from a hard day out on the hill. Also has accommodation if you're not a hard-up climber. Can get pretty lively on winter weekends. Great selection of real ales and even better selection of single malts.
