Started WHW on Thursday evening 7th Nov at 23.30 hr. And
Completed the route in 91.5 hrs on Monday 11 th ,just under 4 full days. Hiking with a pack weight of 10kg ,my body weight is 68 kg a 1 to 7 ratio, .
Stats-
24 hrs Rowardennan 27 miles
39 hrs Crainlarich. 47 miles.
68 hrs. Kings House 72 miles
91.5 hrs Fort William. 96 miles.

Looking at what's been recorded on this winter route my time is the second fastest winter hiking time. The fastest I can find for winter hiking is Alex Frood MTA exspidition leader. 69.9 minutes.
Which I now intend to beat.
