Can anyone suggest B&Bs or hotels in Fort William that offer breakfasts early enough for those cold early starts needed for winter climbing days? Last season found they didn't serve before 7.30.
I think you'll struggle to find any B&B owner willing to get up at 4am to cook you breakfast. The best you're likely to manage is a toaster left out and a loaf of bread. It's for this reason that I find bunkhouses tend to be a better bet.
The way this winter is going you'll struggle to find the "cold starts" never mind the early breakfasts. No more significant snow/frost on the horizon before February.
