Anyone who has done the classic Ring of Steall will be familiar with this wire bridge crossing over the Water of Nevis. It comprises three wires, one for your feet and two as handrails. It can be quite intimidating, especially in winter when a dunking could be potentially dangerous, as well as cold.

When you stand in front of the bridge, you take a quick look at the shaky ropes, but then there's nothing to do but walk over. A great change of pace on this hike.
