Description

Completed the West Highland Way with a group of 9 walkers with varying abilities spanning form novice to Mountain Leader. The West Highland Way consists of hills and moorlands walking form Milngavie to Fort William 0ver 6 days. The weather spanned from torrential rain to very hot. A lot of my time was spent with the less experienced walkers who were quite nervous about this endeavour and worried that they might get lost if left unsupervised. I helped less experienced walkers to navigate difficult terrains particularly day 2 along the banks of Loch Lomond.

I selected Ben Nevis to Loch Leven as there was no obvious alternative to cover the 96 miles of this walk

Area : Ben Nevis (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
