Fort Augustus to Urqhart Castle following the A82

A High Route and a Low Route are now available for this stage, with the High Route being more picturesque but not necessarily more challenging than the lower route, with both routes taking around the same amount of time to complete. Both roads continue to travel through Invermoriston, notwithstanding the changes.
