Claire's West Highland Way and Ben Nevis Fundraiser

15th September 2024
Ben Nevis done! An experience I hope never to repeat again! 🤣. I am offically done in now - what an inhospitable, horrible mountain. It's name is usually tra nslated as Malicious/Venomous Mountain and it fully deserves that name! This concludes my current fundraiser - please donate if you can.

Day 8 (and end) of WHW done! 16.20 miles from Kinlochleven to Fort William, including climbing to Dun Deardail (Iron Age fort). A very wet day indeed.  I was glad to see the 'Man With Sore Feet' statue at the end.

Day 7 of WHW done! 10.00 miles from Kingshouse to Kinlochleven, including climbing the Devil's Staircase and Stob Mhic Mhartuin. The day started off quite wet and misty but dried up and turned out lovely for walking. I diverted off the Devil's Staircase to add in a mountain peak then tracked back and carried on the West Highland Way.

Day 5 done! 7.73 miles from Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy. A wee 'half' day in decent weather. I reached my hotel, thankfully, before the weather turned. A good path between both destinations.
