April 29, 201214 yr Hey All I have the opportunity to visit Fort William during the SSDT this year. Sadly I can only do one day but I have a choice between, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Which is the best day to spectate? And where to go and at what times? The official website has given me some very good info but a few more opinions would not hurt the situation. Ideally I want to see some interesting sections and see some of the bigger names but most of all have a great day. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks That is like watching 20 min. in the middle of a movie! But better than nothing!
April 30, 201214 yr Tuesday would be the best day. Go to Laggan Locks and see about 60 riders through. Return to the main road, drive up to the next main junction (passing the little shop on your left and buy goodies for lunch), left at that junction then in a couple of miles turn left into the forest , drive as far as you can then go to the Forest Gate sections, possibly only 200 yards from where you have parked and see about 80 - 100 riders through. Return to main road, take left and follow for 10 miles or so, left at t junction and then in 3 miles, Creag Lundie is on the hillside on your righjt. Stay there for the whole entry or until you have seen enough and take in Witches Burn on the way back in, reached by taking a right (left if travelling from Spean Bridge) at the Commando Memorial, follow that road and turn right at the t junction, but watch riders returning down that bit of road from Witches Burn. One of the few days where you can see 11 sections in a day. Edited April 30, 201214 yr by Hillary

May 5, 201214 yr Author That is like watching 20 min. in the middle of a movie! But better than nothing! I know exactly what you mean Copey. Thanks for the input guys. As this is my first visit i hope this does not sound to silly a question, Should I wear wellies or hiking boots???
