Scotland Adventure: West Highland Way Thru Hike

Details

Let's explore the Scottish wilderness with a thru hike of the West Highland Way. The West Highland Way stretches 96 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, taking in a huge variety of scenery along the way, from countryside parks to loch-shores and open moorlands to steep mountains.
Normally the route is completed from south to north, the thinking behind this being the southern stages are easier and will prepare you for the more demanding northern stages.
The goal is to complete the trail in 6 days, averaging 16 miles per day. We'll take a train from Glasgow to Milngavie on August 28 and start the trail. We will complete the trail on day 6, September 2, at Fort William, and take a train back to Glasgow. If time and preferences allow, we can do an optional summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.k.
