Four Weeks and Counting!

We are on the final countdown to starting our trek along the West Highland Way.  Many of our friends are familiar with the WHW, but not all are.  I've put this post together for those who are not as familiar.
View Larger Map We'll be walking 96 miles from the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William.  We will take eight days to do this.

The map I've embedded here has the places we'll be spending the nights marked.  Most days are 12-14 miles.

We're also hoping for nice weather to summit Ben Nevis at the end of our trek.  Ben Nevis is the highest point in the UK.  If we can reach the top, we will have reached the highest point in two countries, the other being the top of Mount Kosciuszko in Australia.
