The traverse along the ancient Corrieyairack road (built by General Wade in 1731), will begin at the old barracks and former Inn at Garvamore and finish at Fort Augustus.  The distance will be approx. 30kms and towards the western end there is a steep ascent in 12 zigzags, where the 775m road summit provides magnificent views, before the equally steep descent to the Allt Lagan a’ Bhainne bridge.  Continue down Glen Tarff high on the west side of the deep tree-lined gorge of the River Tarff to Culachy, and on reaching the public road go right then first left to Fort Augustus.  There is also the option of going north from Melgarve to take in the Corbett Gairbeinn and then on to Corrieyairack Hill (a former Corbett) before dropping down again to the road.  If not now, when?
