    A variation on the standard West Highland Way but with stops to accommodate our health needs. This year we completed the last section from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William during September with extra stop overs, at a time of year which puts the tour operators under a lot of pressure. The month was important for us not only because of the reduction in midges because September is blood cancer awareness month and I wanted to raise awareness for the work of Anthony Nolan. A superb walk with a lot of international participation. The accommodation was perfect and even the weather was kind to us. A trip to remember.

    Mickledore are so professional in putting together all the customer requirements. The route of the walk is well known but the participants are of different ages, backgrounds, accommodation requests and have individual special requirements. The complexity of something which on face value appears simple needs staff who actually know the details, and Mickledore do. The excellent information package prior to going and the knowledge that they are available if anything goes wrong means that there is complete peace of mind. A really good example of good customer first focus.

    THe Kerry way is a unique walking experience in the south-West of Ireland. Fantastic views and landscapes Show all the Beauty of this country,. You walk on very quiet ways away from all the busy traffic also doing the Kerry way. The prebooked B&Bs are outstanding, and the luggage transfer worked without any problem.

    Walking holiday with baggage transfer on the Cleveland Way, we were a party of 2 at the beginning and joined by a third individual for the coastal section, the potential for confusion was high but it all worked very well.

Client Feedback

Your whole team is great, we had a marvellous trip and we are very grateful.

Mark Weiner, USA St Cuthbert’s Way, May 2025

Thanks to all at Mickledore for helping me achieve this ambition. I am a lifelong lover of the hills and this journey has been the culmination of that love. But also a renewed commitment to be amongst them.  The logistics you planned for me were flawless and the advice and support you offered gratefully received.

Nick Train, London Pennine Way, September 2025

Good service, friendly staff, excellent accommodation and good backup documentation. The addition of the OS Maps App plus the GPX route are a good addition from previous years.

Grading System

The grade reflects the overall difficulty of the walk and takes into account the overall length of the route and how far you walk each day. It also includes how much ascent and descent there is, what kind of terrain the route crosses, and how good the going is underfoot. We also consider how well the route is signposted and whether the route presents any navigational challenges.

Easy

These are our easiest walks, covering flat and undulating terrain, and usually not more than 12 miles a day. Paths and tracks are generally well defined and well maintained. Navigation is usually straightforward.

Easy - Moderate

These holidays have an average of 15 miles a day or less on mostly rolling countryside and well defined paths, with some sections in more hilly terrain. There may be some bigger climbs, up to 250m, but not every day. For our self guided holidays we recommend you can navigate from a map.

Moderate

With a maximum of 20 miles a day these holidays typically cross more remote mountain and moorland terrain for more than one day, with total climbing of up to 1000m. Whilst most of the route follows well defined paths, there may be sections where the path is indistinct, so you need to be able to navigate with a map and compass for these walks.

Moderate - Challenging

With a maximum of 24 miles, much of the route will be over remote mountains and moorland, and there will be sections of rough or boggy ground and indistinct paths. Competence with a map and compass is essential.

Challenging

Similar to four boots, but many days will involve total climbing of up to 1200m, with significant time spent in mountainous and moorland terrain. There will be some long days out, so you need stamina! You will need to be an experienced and fit walker, confident in the mountains and on the moors in poor weather. Again, competence with a map and compass is essential.
