Day 63 revisited, Kinlochleven to Fort William.
We’re back! It’s been great to return to Scotland and be back on the trail. We headed out from Kinlochleven up the steep path which took us up on to today’s route. It was amazing to look back towards Kinlochleven and see how much height we had gained so quickly. We then followed the trail […]
Day 63, Kinlochleven to Fort William.
So, we wondered if it would happen, we hoped it wouldn’t happen….it did happen. One of us got Covid, you can guess who it is by looking at the pictures! Yes, after taking a rest day yesterday Kevin walked solo while, under the weather, Janet rested up. The plan is that Kevin will carry on […]
Day 61, Inveroran to Kinlochleven.
It’s been a very long and very wet day. We set off very early this morning in the rain. Our route took us through remote fells. The rain continued with low cloud all around us. This made all the scenery very dramatic. We eventually came to well known Glencoe and passed through it towards the […]
Day 60, Crianlarich to Inveroran.
It’s been a day of spectacular views and really great walking. After passing The Bridge of Orchy we’re now in the remote spot of Inveroran with very little WiFi, so just this short post tonight. Hopefully a few pictures will attach!
Day 59, Inversnaid to Crianlarich.
This morning started in the same way as yesterday finished but for much longer. Lots of ups and downs, twists and turns, tree roots and rocks! It was really hard walking that required lots of early morning concentration. Great views though! As this finished we came across the remote Bothy of Doune Byre. This is […]
Day 58, Balmaha to Inversnaid.
Luckily yesterday’s rain had stopped and we set off in the dry for our walk along Loch Lomond. We headed straight down to the lochside and absolutely stunning views. The walk took us up and down, sometimes away from the loch but into beautiful lush green woodlands. As we headed back towards the loch we […]
Day 57, Milngavie to Balmaha.
What a day, West Highland Way, torrential rain, fellow LEJOG walker and an amazing surprise! We knew the weather forecast said today was going to be wet and it didn’t disappoint. We have walked in absolutely torrential rain for nearly all of the day. Today’s start to the trail was quite gentle and through trees […]
Day 55, Glasgow to Milngavie.
So, in a change to our itinerary we have decided to walk today and rest tomorrow! It’s only been a short distance and we just thought it would be good to complete it today. It’s been another day of city walking but very different to yesterday. We had an interesting walk through beautiful Kelvingrove Park […]
Day 54, Strathclyde to Glasgow.
It’s been a very different walk to yesterday. Today has been all about heading into the centre of Glasgow, much of it through busy areas. We started out by working out the best way to cross the busy network of roads that was in front of us as we needed to get to the other […]
Day 53, New Lanark to Strathclyde.
It’s been one of our longest walks today and we have followed The Clyde Walkway for almost the entire route. The trail is very mixed terrain with lots of up and down. We initially walked past the impressive New Lanark Mill buildings, a UNESCO world heritage site with a very interesting history. Then it was […]
