Distance - 149miles/238km

From Tarbet on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond, climb steadily to a famous beauty spot that goes by the apt name of Rest and be Thankful. Descend to Inveraray and continue to follow the shores of Loch Fyne to Lochgilphead. Turning north, pass the lovely Crinan Canal and proceed to the bustling holiday town of Oban. Here there is an exceptionally fine view across the Firth of Lorn and the Sound of Mull to the Inner Hebrides. From Oban cross the impressive Connel Bridge and journey on up through Ballachulish to Fort William, which nestles at the foot of Ben Nevis.
