West Highland Way ascents
Date walked: 30/01/2017
Planning West Highland way with Daughter in May- she wanted to know the ascents each day.
There is a lot of disparity in the 3 web sites I looked at -
The official WHW web site calls it a total ascent of 4735m- The Long Distance walkers association site calls it 3946m and walk Highlands (I would guess the most accurate) calls it at 3154 m- was wondering if anyone can confirm this final figure is the most accurate- as there is quite a difference - over 30% difference- Many thanks
