    I was one of those runners!! We stayed in Inverie so got to have more than 1 pint. The run back out was tough, self inflicted as well as meteorological

    Many years I was the school dentist and my patch covered the Inner Hebrides and Inverie. Normally I would take a boat but I decided it would be more fun to walk in to inverie. So with dental equipment in the rucksack, I walked in on Sunday , camped and turned up at the school to everyone's' surprise. Not only did I see the kids but a number of adults turned up as well. Pulling teeth in someone's kitchen was a new experience. Job done and then a long walk out. No time to visit the pub but a very memorable couple of days.

    In truth, there was no wind as they stumbled back from the pub. What they claimed to see was nothing more than the fanciful tricks of their minds, dulled by the excesses of drink.

    Great video! Interesting route in from the end of that road. My hiking partner and I opted to hike 3 days one way into Inverie from Glenfinnan. There was considerably more climbing - 800m Day 1, 370m Day 2, and 775m on Day 3 getting into Inverie. There's an old rail sleeper car in Glenfinnan that was very quaint where we stayed before heading out the following morning. Some local spots to check out (Jacobite Monument, Glenfinnan viaduct (though you would hike directly under this on route to Inverie) and he Glenfinnan House Hotel (wonderful meals). In the end we opted to take the ferry back to Mallaig, and rail back to Glasgow before flying home to Canada after a couple nights.
    The Old Forge was an unreal experience on our last night in Inverie. Friends we made at the Bunkhouse ended up getting engaged on the makeshift dancefloor in the pub, dancing to live music played by 9 musicians who sailed in on a tall ship. Definitely looking to make this hike at least once more.

    It brought back a fantastic hike I did many years ago with my wife and my sister, an expert mountaineer who has done most of the Munroes. We caught the train from Edinburg up to Kingussie in the Cairn Gorms. Then we just walked up into the mountains for 3 days, camping out in the wild. We didn't see another human being for the entire time. I miss the Highlands!

He came from London were he worked. After the dinner (We drank a bottle of Rioja) he ordered his sweety which was an Isle of Jura (We drank maby more) And then we went of to the pub. I didn't know the name, but there was only one. Next day was horrible. I vomted several times. Stayed there until monday went for a long walk to see Sgurr Na Ciche and then back again to Mallaig.

    Me and a few friends recently did the DOFE award in the mountains. The teachers told us.. Its 10km , other groups have easy concrete routes. Well we decided to climb the side of the mountain (to take a shortcut), bad idea; the footpath was destroyed. Midway down we ran into a lone house with a grandpa who told us the road didn't exist ahead. At this point we were running late. We ended up going back to the start and taking another route. All together it was 34km in a day including a close call when we accidentally wenrt onto a live runway. (that was scary, got us running for the taxiway as some plane was taking on ahead)
