West Highland Way August 2011 (HELP!!!)

Postby Portboy » Thu Aug 11, 2011 12:09 pm

I did it a few weeks ago and this is only a suggestion for others as the days maybe too long. Why use hotels when there is custom built hostels along the way.

Day 1: - Milngavie - Balmaha (Balmaha Bunkhouse)
Day2 : - Balmaha - Rowardennan (SYHA. Short day but climb Ben Lomond)
Day3 : - Rowardennan - Tyndrum (By The Way hostel. Breakfast next day at Tyndrum Lodge Hotel, buffet breakfast 0730 -1100 eat as much as you like for £6)
Day4 : - Tyndrum - Kinlochleven (Blackwater hostel)
Day5 : - Kinlochleven - Fort William (Bankstreet hostel)

All these hostels excellent and on par with any hotel rooms, have to share of course but that adds fun to walking The Way!
