Grog and Gruel on the main street do good food and beer! http://www.grogandgruel.co.uk/

The Grog and Gruel and the Italian mentioned would be my choice, in that order. The owner of the Grog and Gruel has run the Ben a few times.

Getting ready to travel now. Should be a good weekend.

Good luck to all making the journey to Fort William.

Am i right in thinking i wont require a map? Been searching through the ben Nevis race website and it doesn't say anything about a map being required. Can anyone confirm? Cheers.

No map or compass rqd. Just full body cover, whistle and race card.

Out of interest, do runners typically go up the zig zags (apart from the big first one where the short route to where the burn crosses the main track is presumably taken?) and descend via 'route one' or do some go up route one too? There don't appear to be any route rules on the web site.

I'm not in this year's race but ran the route last week and now feel inspired to enter next year

No zigging or zagging. Straight up and down same route, there or there abouts.
Good luck to all those up there this weekend
Hope to be there next year also.
