Others have recommended it though and I&#39;ve walked up the last descent down to Loch Torridon Hotel and thought it looks pretty tasty. It&#39;s quite a short route though, and there may be some carrying up past the loch.

Another option might be to have two different circuits in the Coulin Forest if the weather and motivation are favourable? </p>
