Note: "expct. miles" was the distance we were expecting to walk along the WHW route based on Google maps estimates and "add. miles" is the additional distance recorded by my phone which includes walking to/from accommodation and any inaccuracies in the way my phone measures distance.
FYI - we both loved the experience despite my husband ending up in Fort William A&E having chunks of his toe cut off!
