Walking In
What better way to reach us than by walking in via Glendessary, Glen Meadall or Kinlochhourn this will fairly put a spring in your step and colour in your cheeks. Post on your gear in advance if you fancy, the lure of a hot shower, clean change of socks and a pint of cask conditioned real ale to accompany a juicy steak or fresh seafood platter at the Old Forge.
