Not a great night's sleep at The Drovers, some guests believing it acceptable to bawl to one another about nothing in particular at 0145. Arose a bit earlier to get away a bit more sharpish than yesterday, as we had been finding it tricky to maintain a decent pace along paths constantly covered in 4/5 inches of snow, thereby disguising the streams and uneven rocks which would otherwise be best avoided. Today's route shadowed the A82 and the Glasgow-Fort William railway line much of the way, until at about three-quarter distance the path turned away from the road and headed in a more direct direction to Tyndrum. Our B&B tonight was a cockstride out of the village, so the final few hundred yards had to be along the main A82. The forecast is for plentiful snow, so the prospect of attempting Rannoch Moor in a couple of days' time is less than certain.
