Day 6 Kingshouse hotel to Kinlochleven

We left Kingshouse, change of plan though.After a day without showers or toilets we decided to not take the planned detour to the hidden valley but instead to stick with the WHW and go to straight to Kinlochleven. The Devils staircase was early on and we stopped halfway up and had a coffee and breakfast at a pretty stream. We had skipped these early on. Over the top of the staircase a long descent across moorland and through the forest down to Kinlochleven. A very steep and long descent down a forest road (gravel) of about 2 and half hours. We stayed at a camping area behind the McDonald hotel. A lovely evening, food in the Hotel was excellent. We had tried the local pub but were met with a very frosty reception so decided not to eat there. Two families from Glasgow at the campsite exchanging banter and friendly conversation made the evening very pleasant.
