Route Description    
   

Milngavie - Drymen
The Way starts in Milngavie, a suburb of Glasgow. It travels across rolling hills and lowland plains. This is an easy pleasant walk along the valleys of Blane and Endrick with good views of the hills.

Drymen - Rowardennan
The Way continues with a mixture of good woodland paths, moderate gradients on Conic Hill and hillside tracks. The approach to Loch Lomond is very picturesque.

Rowardennan - Crainlarich
Today is mainly rugged walking over lochside rocks and tree roots with some scrambling. This can be a wild and demanding section of the Way, especially north of Inversnaid.

Crainlarich - Inveroran
With typical highland walking in glens and over low passes with moderate ascents and descents, on mainly well surfaced paths and tracks. There are many fine mountain views to be enjoyed today.

Inveroran - Kinlochleven
A moderate to hard day with amazing scenery. The terrain is mainly good underfoot but it is highly exposed and can be difficult in bad weather - be prepared!

Kinlochleven - Fort William
Starting with a steep climb out of Kinlochleven followed by rough paths in Nevis Forest, your final day finishes with a gentle descent into Fort William.
