Day 1 Glenbuck – Sorn(ish) (16 miles) With the good weather coming to an end (20 plus degrees in Scotland in March!?) I had a small window of opportunity to bag a short trail, and one that was relatively local to boot. The River Ayr Way had been on the radar for a while, the [...]

Tibbie Sheils and the Southern Upland Way With the weather forecast being pretty reasonable, I decided to return to the Borders and walk a section of the Southern Upland Way (SUW), returning to Tibbie Shiels via a route that would in essence create a giant figure-of-eight loop. I had managed to extract myself from [...]

Kinlochleven to Fort William – 16 miles (14 with diversion) The last day I always feel a little sad at times like these, knowing that it is the last days walking and this was to be no exception. A stupidly early start, 5.30 am, meant we were doing a fine impression of the seven dwarfs [...]

Inveroran to Kingshouse – 10 miles Today was another short day, but it was to be over the exposed Rannoch Moor – a name that has achieved almost legendary status for West Highland Way Walkers. Rannoch Moor can be easy in fine weather, a leisurely ramble across one of the most spectacular sections of the [...]

Day 4 – Beinglas – Tyndrum 12 miles The weather changed today – for the worse. The forecast had said rain so it was expected. It is still a disappointment though when the rain does start falling, and in the journey back down to Beinglas from Tyndrum there was copious amounts of rain falling. That [...]

Day 3 – Rowardennan to Inverarnan – 14 miles Today was another early start, easier for some and slightly more difficult for others. To get back to Rowardennan meant around 15 minutes in the van before we were dropped off at the hotel, our starting point for the day. We were down one walker, Linda, [...]

Day 2 – Drymen to Rowardennan – 16 miles An early(ish) start was the order of the day giving the group plenty of time to negotiate the route to the Rowardennan Hotel. It was another calm but cold day, a low haze hanging in the air. There were a few sore feet around, and already [...]

St Cuthberts Way Day 5 – Kyloe to Lindesfarne – via Pilgrims Path The final day of the walk started with grey, but thankfully dry sky (we were yet to discover our planning faux pas). We had a little time to kill, with only a short walk of 4 or 5km to the Causeway and [...]

St Cuthberts Way – Day 4 Wooler – Kyloe – Approx 20km This was to be a slightly shorter day for us, a decision made due to the tide tables which dictate safe crossing times to Lindesfarne. We had decided that the days walk would cut things a little fine to cross so we would [...]

St Cuthberts Way – Day 3 Kirk Yetholm – Wooler – approx 13 miles One thing I forgot to mention about the previous day was the rather spectacular hill fort that could clearly be seen from the top of Wideopen hill, perched somewhat clumsily on top of Hownam Law. These hill forts were to become [...]
