One Day Walks
Our one day walks are mostly at the week-ends and generally consist of going up 1 or more Munro's or the occassional Corbett. The cost for these walks is from £25 per walk which includes transport from pre-arranged pick up points. Walks that are more than £25.00 are indicated in the Diary page.

West Highland Way
The West Highland Way is a 95 mile walk from the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William. Usually we take 6 days to complete this route as follows;

  • Milngavie to Balmaha - 19 miles
  • Balmaha to Inversnaid - 14 miles
  • Inversnaid to Crianlarich - 13 miles
  • Crianlarich to Inveroran - 17 miles

  • Kinlochleven to Fort William - 14 miles

The cost will be £425 and this includes accommodation in Hotels and quality guest houses and is based on 2 sharing a twin room. Baggage transfer, breakfast and lunch is included.

EARLY BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL FOR BOTH OF THESE WALKS

Great Glen Way
The Great Glen Way is a wonderful addition to the West Highland Way and is a 73 mile walk from Fort William to Inverness but is walked much less than it's older and bigger rival. Usually we take 5 days for this route as follows;

  • Fort William to Gairlochy - 10 miles
  • Gairlochy to Laggan - 12 miles
  • Laggan to Invermoriston - 19 miles
  • Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit - 14 miles
  • Drumnadrochit to Inverness - 18 miles

The cost will be £350 with accommodation in quality guest houses. Baggage transfer, breakfast and lunch is included.

Cape Wrath Trail

This is a 12 day backpacking trip from Fort William to Cape Wrath covering approx 195 miles. In 2007 this will be our first trip which is as much a scouting trip to find alternative routes and routes that can be achieved by anyone. In this first walk we also hope to 'bag' a number of Munro's on route (around 12 in 12 days) but that will also depend on weather conditions. If you would like to join us on this trip all you need is the correct gear which includes a tent and you just pay your own way. It will be a strenuous walk with high expectations of completing good mileage each day. If you are interested then email me and I'll send you a proposed route with all the expected mileages for each day.
