Hiking

Try to start as early as possible. I had a wonderful hike, arrived at the summit at 9 am and shared the place with 6 other people. It was on a Friday with beautiful weather and on my way back down it felt like every single tourist staying at Fort William was on his way to the top. Extremely crowded!
