I did the trail over three days it was hard work, the section between Corrimony and Cannich is being upgraded so soon you won’t have to walk that section in the road! Great views really gets better the further on you get.

Even if the weather is foggy, do this hike! The fog doesn’t take away the astonishing beauty, but changes it into an eerie, ethereal place. The climbs are challenging, and sometimes finding the trail is dependent on finding footprints in the mud, but do the hike. It is totally worth it.

Slippy in parts, walking boots needed. For the wire bridge, attempt if you’re agile.

Summers, typically June to August, offer the most hospitable hiking climate. Though occasionally rainy, the temperatures hover around a comfortable 15°C - 20°C, with up to 18 hours of daylight to fully exploit the trails. Careful monitoring of midge activity is vital for a hassle-free experience. https://www.livebreathescotland.com/midges-in-scotland/
Autumn brings a dazzling display of changing colours, but the weather, much like spring, can be erratic. Temperatures begin to drop, and daylight hours shrink rapidly, restricting hiking time. Winters are challenging with shorter days, snowfall, and icy trails. For the experienced, it presents a unique, exhilarating challenge. Check https://www.mountaineering.scot/. Best to avoid winter unless highly experienced.
