Day 10 Kinlochleven to Fort William

22 maja 2024, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

Our last walking day with 14 miles to go to get to the end of the WHW at Fort William.
We got away at 8.00 am and started climbing up out of Kinlochleven. It was a beautiful, clear morning with a cool May sunshine.
The climb was steep but took us up through rhododendrons and birch trees. Very beautiful. We finally got to the top and did 2-3 miles along a winding path between the mountains. Lots of climbs up and down. Then into pine forests with the awesome Ben Nevis getting closer and closer.

Coffee- Eat- Climb - Repeat has been our mantra on this trail and never more than today as we covered the last 14 miles and climbed down into Fort William having had an ice cream stop at the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre.
An amazing day and a wonderful achievement! The rain held off until we approached Fort Willian but we didn’t mind!
Photos in Gordon Square the official end of the West Highland Way and checked into The Garrison Hotel. This used to be the police station and cells and has been beautifully converted into a lovely Hotel a bit like the Mal Maison in Oxford.
We will be celebrating with a glass of Prosecco very soon! Czytaj więcej
