- 28.1km | ascent 646m | descent 542m
- Glencoe Mountain Resort, £6 to camp
- We managed to pick up a ride from outside the Bridge of Orchy Hotel back to Tyndrum and started the trail where I left it the day before
- Thunderstorms were forecast, could we beat them?
- Not likely! It didn’t take long until the skies turned a majestic colour of grey and we donned our rain gear
- Threatening grey skies
- The River Orchy a few steps from the Bridge of Orchy hotel
- The Bridge of Orchy
- A cairn on Ben Inverveigh with Loch Tulla in the background
- Loch Tulla
- Rain showers are imminent!
- Taking refuge from the rain with cake and coffee at the Inveroran Hotel
- Walking along the old military road
- Needless to say, it rained and thundered as we made our way across the most exposed section of the West Highland Way, Rannoch Moor! I wish I could have taken more photos but considering the circumstances, we barely stopped!
- Heading to Rannoch Moor and walking straight into a thunderstorm
- Crossing Rannoch Moor, taken on my iPhone as my camera was now safely tucked away inside my pack after constant downpours
- Our two-man Big Agnes tent (the grey/white one) at Glencoe Mountain Resort
- West Highland Way day 5, Tyndrum to Glencoe Mountain Resort

Hi Aurelia,
I took my Fujifilm X-T2 with the 10-24mm lens on this trip and used my iPhone for pics when it was raining.
