The West Highland Way Day 6 - Kinlochleven - Fort William 4K
The West Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe na Gàidhealtachd an Iar) is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland. It is 154 km (96 miles) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route.[3] The trail, which opened in 1980, was Scotland's first officially designated Long Distance Route,[4] and is now designated by Scottish Natural Heritage as one of Scotland's Great Trails.[2] It is primarily intended as a long distance walking route, and whilst many sections are suitable for mountain biking and horseriding there are obstacles and surfaces that will require these users to dismount in places.[1]
The West Highland Way - Day 1 - Hiking in Scotland
The West Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe na Gàidhealtachd an Iar) is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland. It is 154 km (96 miles) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route.
The trail, which opened in 1980, was Scotland's first officially designated Long Distance Route, and is now designated by Scottish Natural Heritage as one of Scotland's Great Trails. It is primarily intended as a long distance walking route, and whilst many sections are suitable for mountain biking and horseriding there are obstacles and surfaces that will require these users to dismount in places.
It is managed by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of the local authorities for East Dunbartonshire, Stirling, Argyll and Bute and Highland, alongside the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority and Scottish Natural Heritage. About 120,000 people use the path every year, of whom about 36,000 walk the entire route. The path is estimated to generate £5.5 million each year for the local economy.
In September 2019 I set out on my first ever attempt at hiking the West Highland Way. I did this to raise funds for Therapet Scotland, in memory of my dog Belle who sadly passed away from cancer.
The West Highland Way in Scotland
The most popular long distance walk in Scotland (according to walkhighlands.co.uk): 96 miles from Milngavie to Fort William.
The West Highland Way - Day 1 of 6 - Milngavie to Balmaha, Amazing first days hiking. Simply Superb.
The West Highland Way is Scotland's premier long distance footpath. The hike is 96 miles (154 km) long and runs from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. It is estimated 36,000 walk the entire route annually and is considered by ourselves to be one of the best long distance trails in the world
Monday 13th May Milngavie to Balmaha, Day 1
We had travelled up to Milngavie, Glasgow the night before by train from Manchester (where we live). We checked into the Premier Lodge (there are 2 very close to each other), where our luggage would be collected from and carried for us to our next destination. It was a beautiful sunny day, with a good weather forecast for the week.
We left the hotel at 7.30am and went to the nearby Tesco to purchase sandwiches, fruit etc for lunch. The walk begins from an obelisk in the centre of town, which the locals are more than happy to give you directions to. We called in Greggs Bakery nearby, and sat on a bench by the start of the walk, eating our breakfast whilst watching many excited walkers arrive. After taking the customary photos we set off on the clearly marked path, and soon left the town through miles of beautiful bluebell woods.
Greggs Bakery, Monday to Saturday 6.30am- 5.30pm. Sunday 9am-4pm 6 Douglas Street, Milngavie, G62 6PB
We continued, passing a picturesque lake on the right an hour later, arriving at
Beech Tree Restaurant and Cafe Bar at 10.40am. This looked lovely, with breakfast served from 10.30am-12, and an extensive food menu. There is an attractive picnic area, if you are eating your own food. The cafe is set in the old station, the line was shut in 1951. We continued as we had eaten earlier.
We passed Turnip the Beet Cafe at 11am, they had a lunch time deal on and drinks and cake. Again we passed by. Many walkers spend day one walking from Milngavie to Drymen a distance of 12 miles, we had decided this would be too short a day so continued. We ate our lunch at 12.30pm, with the first fantastic views of Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond is the largest lake in Great Britain and provides Central Scotland with its drinking water. The walk continues through fields and forests, until at 2.15pm we reached a split in the path. The road to the left can be taken to Balmaha, which is a great alternative if you are tired or the weather is poor. The main West Highland Way path goes to the back of Conic Hill. We took this following gravel and earth paths, with sustained steep sections, some steps and a stile and finally attained the top of the path at 3.30pm. We thought this was well worth the effort with tremendous views over Loch Lomond. From here there is a path to the left which goes to the top of the Hill (361m), we opted not to do this, and sat looking at the views instead.
The path is not easy going down, being steep and stony. We reached the car park in Balmaha at 4.15pm. Conic Hill is a popular walk from Balmaha, and we passed many people walking up.
In Balmaha there is a village shop which is open every day from 7.30-10pm, useful but quite expensive. We bought bread, salmon, and tomatoes for tea. There is a coffee and ice cream shop next door to the village shop that shuts at 6pm, also The Oak Tree pub, which has accommodation and a lovely if slightly expensive menu.
We stayed at the Balmaha Inn booking in advance on Bookings.com, expensive at £99.00 for a very small modern room, but with fantastic views over the lake. When we checked in we found that the breakfast is not served till 8am, and having another long days walk would have preferred breakfast earlier.
However, day one had gone better than we thought, it was a beautiful day, with fantastic views, great weather and new friends to meet.

Learning To Thrive | 100 Miles Along The West Highland Way
The West Highland Way runs for 96 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, travelling through some of the most stunning landscapes in Scotland. It passes alongside lochs and rivers, travels through forest and moorlands, explores countless historical sites, and encompasses mountains of all scales, including Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK.
Abbie set out to walk the trail in May 2018, retracing her route taken in 2012 when she walked the trail as her first long-distance route at the age of 16. Through this film, she reveals the realities of life on the trail, from dealing with swarms of midges to avoiding large groups of sightseers, but along the way rediscovers what it means to thrive.

Scottish Highlands - West Highland Way
Wee solo adventure around the Scottish Highlands. Video in no way does it justice! Re uploaded as the previous video cut out.
The Great Glen Way + The West Highland Way (southbound) | August 2017
This is a video compilation of my hiking trip from Inverness to Milngavie on the Great Glen Way (117 km / 73 miles) and the West Highland Way (153 km / 96 miles) in Scotland. Whilst cutting this I realised that I had recorded far too many videos, trying to cut 400 clips down to 7 minutes... Now this video is cramped with impressions. But I feel like it represents the memories one has about hiking a trail quite well. There are so many views, hills, rivers and places to process and take in every day that in the end only a flood of different pictures remains in your head. I hope you enjoy this video!

The West Highland Way - Day 6 (Kinlochleven to Fort William)
On day 6, I walk 16 miles from Kinlochleven to Glen Nevis campsite where I get refused table service at the Glen Nevis restaurant but luckily I still had some noodles left. The following day I continue to Fort William and complete the West Highland Way.
The tent that I am using througout the trip is the Vango Banshee 200/2 person backpacking tent. It's a great little tent that is spacious yet lightweight and affordable.
You can buy the Vango Banshee 200 tent on Amazon, link below:
