GGW Day 4 - Drumnadrochit to Inverness
My body felt it was a bit too long and tough towards the end (the last few kilometres on tarmac into town weren’t very fast because of my foot…), but the walk was varied and there were several really enjoyable and lovely moments… for example, lunch at the very special…

GGW Day 3 Inver Coille Campsite to Drumnadrochit
In a way, I’m a bit disappointed that there weren’t more viewpoints, given that we’d gone to the trouble of climbing the mountain… and that, because of the fence, we couldn’t get up to the nearby peak. Despite this, today’s walk was enjoyable and very varied. Plenty of Scottish countryside…

GGW Day 2 South Laggan - Inver Coille
There is, of course, a certain charm in walking along the canal and watching the boats go through the locks – but it’s a long and monotonous stretch on hard ground.
Once again, I got the feeling that this route is best enjoyed on horseback, by bike or in a…

GGW Day 1 - Gairlochy locks to South Laggan
My first day of walking on the Great Glen Way. Having pottered around Fort William and the surrounding area yesterday – and thus unwittingly covered the first few kilometres of the route – and after studying the map, I decided to take a taxi to Gairlochy Locks and start my…

WHW Day 8 Kinlochleven to Fort William
As most other days on this trail the day started with an ascend - through the rainforest like forest up to the moor and the big glen which one follows for about 10 km. Since the entire walk today was very exposed, I chose to start early to walk “ahead…

WHW Day 7 Glencoe Mountain Resort to Kinlochleven
A wonderful day on the trail. Stunning morning light in the Glencoe Valley, and endless visibility on the highest point of the entire WHW. Nice view of Ben Nevis.
The descend is long and rather tiring. Due to the recent modernisation of the Blackwater Hydro Facility (Highland Green) the last…

WHW Day 6 Bridge of Orchy Station to Glencoe Mountain Resort
Today was an easy walk, and finally I got the feeling of having arrived in the highlands.
The walk over the moor was stunning but unfortunately stressful because of mosquitoes on one hand but more so, horseflies… one really didn’t want to stop, which was sad because of the sheer…

WHW Day 5 - Crianlarich to Bridge of Orchy
If yesterday was tiring, today was a pleasure. It was a very easy walk with lots of time for coffee breaks, and a big lunch and shopping for the upcoming days in Tyndrum (which felt strangely American, don’t as me why).
The part between Crianlarich and Tyndrum was a mixture…

WHW Day 4 - Beinglas Waterfalls to Crianlarich
Today was supposed to be a “rest day”
It started out with me getting rather annoyed with myself. I walked up to the Beinglas Waterfalls, the path has been thoroughly destroyed by spring water and it was also rather steep. The view and the water falls on top made it…

WHW day 3 Rowardennan - Beinglas
I was told this section is very difficult. From a Swedish perspective it really isn’t. But I wouldn’t recommend it in heavy rain and the walking sticks came in handy because of some big steps. And sure, one doesn’t proceed as quickly as on a road..
It was a lovely…

WHW Day 2 Drymen - Rowardennan
The first Hour I felt as If I was hiking in Sächsische Schweiz, forestry roads and
tall trees.. but the closer I came to Conic hill the more beautiful it got. Unfortunately also the more crowded… It was a very hot day and the climb, especially the descend, was more…

WHW - day 1 Milngavie - Drymen
I flew in from Germany in the morning so I did some shopping in Hillfoot, had lunch in Milngavie and started walking about 3pm
The trail is not to be overseen so it didn’t feel stressful.
The first half is really nice, with endless shades of green, but the second…
