Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!
Big Tree Campervans – create your own adventure!

The eroded section of the path was tricky, being narrow with a steep drop to the river, negotiation of a tree trunk included. It took longer than 8 hours.
