Thinking of doing this 'bad boy' with a friend since we're too poor to go and do kilimanjaro or what not :p

Has anyone been and if so did you stay overnight somewhere, and where?
Have had a look about on the net, but was wondering if anyone has any experience of a particular hotel/inn/place which was good value. Would only be for a couple of sleeps.

Also, anyone got any idea what kind of ballpark rail fares would be in, travelling from the west midlands to fort william (closest train station to the mountains.) Just wondering as a comparison to how much it would cost in petrol.

I tried checking national rail site but it just came up with error. :o

Ta.
 
Cheers for that. ;)

Never actually been to Scotland before let alone the highlands, but the pictures I see of the mountain and its surroundings look amazing. That rail fare seems very reasonable, so I'll look into it a bit further.
 
Didn't know this got revived.

Anyway, finally going sunday/monday, and doing it via the carn mor dearg arete rather than the 'tourist track'.

At least twice as long, but hopefully at least twice as good. :D
